· Build and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Java, JavaScript, Selenium, and TestNG to support regression, smoke, and integration testing.
· Create and run API test scenarios that validate service behavior, data integrity, error handling, and performance across internal and external integrations.
· Analyze insurance business rules and requirements to design test scenarios, and investigate defects with development and product teams to drive timely, high-quality fixes.
· Manage test cases, defects, and traceability in Jira, and report key quality metrics such as defect trends, automation coverage, and test cycle efficiency to guide release readiness and risk decisions.
