Responsibilities

Design and implement comprehensive automated test frameworks for Java based REST web services that validate functional accuracy data integrity and error handling across complex enterprise workflows ensuring high reliability of customer facing applications.
Develop maintain and optimize Selenium based test suites for web applications by creating reusable components stabilizing flaky tests and improving execution performance to support continuous integration and fast feedback cycles.
Create and enhance Playwright based end to end automation scenarios that validate cross browser and cross device behavior focusing on realistic user journeys that reflect how global customers interact with assessment and ERP platforms.
Collaborate closely with product owners and engineers to translate business requirements into detailed test strategies and test cases ensuring that critical assessment body processes and ERP workflows are thoroughly covered by automated and manual validation where needed.
Perform thorough API testing of REST endpoints including request response validation schema verification and error scenario coverage while using robust assertion patterns that detect regressions early in the development lifecycle.
Design and execute data driven test scenarios against Oracle databases to validate complex queries stored logic and transactional integrity ensuring that underlying data structures support stable and accurate business reporting.
Validate integration flows between Netsuite ERP and related systems by creating automation that exercises key finance billing and resource management processes helping the organization maintain consistent and auditable business operations.
Investigate defects reported from production or user acceptance testing by reproducing issues through targeted test cases performing root cause analysis and proposing practical remediation approaches that improve overall product quality.
Contribute to continuous integration and deployment pipelines by integrating automated suites monitoring execution results and refining quality gates so that only stable and well tested builds progress toward production environments.
Document test approaches automation standards and best practices in a clear and structured manner so that the wider engineering team can easily understand adopt and extend quality related assets across projects.
Coordinate with cross functional stakeholders in a hybrid work model by using effective communication routines that keep everyone aligned on test coverage risk areas and release readiness ensuring predictable delivery in day shift operations.
Support initiatives that enhance customer trust in assessment and ERP solutions by focusing on high impact quality improvements that reduce incidents improve system availability and contribute to more reliable services for educational and professional communities.
Mentor junior quality engineers on automation techniques test design principles and effective use of tools such as Selenium Playwright and database utilities helping the team elevate its overall testing maturity and long term capability.
