- Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks using Java, JavaScript, and open-source tools like Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
- Develop and execute API automation using tools like Postman or REST-assured.
- Design locator strategies and write robust XPath/CSS selectors (including Angular-specific locators).
- Work on framework implementation using appropriate design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model, Factory, Strategy, etc.).
- Integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent tools.
- Execute test suites in parallel across multiple environments such as local, Docker, cloud (AWS/Azure), and container-based systems.
- Implement reporting and alerting for automation results (e.g., using Extent Reports, Allure, etc.).
- Use and configure build tools like Maven, Gradle; manage test execution with TestNG, JUnit.
- Actively participate in framework discussions and development decisions, not just execution.
- Handle teardown, cleanup, and recovery mechanisms in test cases to ensure reliability.

- 7+ years of test automation experience in Java, JavaScript.
- Strong experience with Selenium, Cypress, Playwright.
- Proficient in API testing and tools like Postman, REST-assured.
- Solid understanding of test automation design patterns; ability to discuss and implement appropriate architecture.
- Hands-on experience in building frameworks (not just using in-house frameworks).
- Expert in writing efficient and reliable locators/XPaths, especially for complex or Angular-based UIs.
- Experience with BDD/TDD frameworks (e.g., Cucumber, Mocha, Jest) and related reporting tools.
- CI/CD integration experience; test execution on Docker, cloud VMs, or agent machines.
- Familiarity with build tools (Maven, Gradle), and test frameworks (TestNG, JUnit).
- Exposure to cloud-based testing, cross-browser, and parallel execution.
