  • Contract testing, test data management
  • Experience with Azure DevOps or similar tools
  • Cloud-native applications: Awareness of containers, Kubernetes, microservices, and distributed-system quality challenges; 
  • Observability tools: Experience with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, Grafana, or equivalent platforms; 
  • Secure delivery awareness: Working knowledge of OWASP Top 10, API security risks, authentication and authorization validation, and secure test design;
  • Agile delivery: Experience working in Agile or Scrum teams, participating in backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives
  • Quality leadership: Ability to influence engineering practices, promote standards, and improve quality culture across teams;

    • Test governance: Establishing traceability from requirements to test coverage, defect trends, and release decisions;
    • Quality advocacy: Promoting preventive quality practices across the engineering organization without blocking delivery
  • Test Automation & Engineering
    • UI automation: Designing and maintaining automated tests for browser-based applications and critical end-to-end user journeys using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent;
    • API automation: Building automated validation for REST APIs, service contracts, authentication flows, and integration points;

  • CI/CD & Release Assurance
    • Pipeline integration: Embedding automated quality checks into Azure DevOps or equivalent CI/CD platforms;
    • Quality gates: Defining pass/fail criteria for builds, deployments, and environment promotions based on automated test outcomes and risk thresholds;
    • Release confidence: Supporting go/no-go decisions with clear evidence on system quality, test coverage, defect risk, and operational readiness;
    • Shift-left quality: Ensuring quality validation begins early in the lifecycle through requirement reviews, testability input, and early automation design; 
  • Collaboration & Communication
    • Cross-functional collaboration: Working effectively with developers, architects, DevSecOps engineers, cloud engineers, data engineers, product owners, and project management;
    • Mentoring: Supporting junior quality engineers and helping development teams improve testability and automation practices;
