Key Responsibilities:

• Quality Strategy & Planning: Collaborate with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to define comprehensive quality strategies and test plans for new features and existing functionalities across our ReactJS frontend and Node.js/Java backend services.

• Test Automation Development: Design, develop, and maintain robust and scalable automated test suites using frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress for frontend applications, and integrate with backend testing frameworks for Java/Node.js services.

• Performance & Scalability Testing: Conduct performance, load, and scalability testing to identify bottlenecks and ensure our applications meet high-performance standards, working closely with backend engineers on distributed systems.

• Functional & Integration Testing: Lead the execution of functional, integration, and end-to-end tests to validate software behavior, data integrity, and API interactions.

• Defect Management: Identify, log, and prioritize defects, working closely with development teams to ensure timely resolution and retesting.

• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and rapid feedback loops.

• Mentorship & Best Practices: Promote and drive quality best practices within the team, providing guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers on testing methodologies, tools, and automation.

• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis: Assist in diagnosing and debugging complex technical issues, collaborating with development teams to perform root cause analysis.

• Tooling & Innovation: Research and evaluate new testing tools, technologies, and methodologies to enhance our quality assurance processes and efficiency.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work seamlessly with Staff ReactJS/NodeJS Front End Engineers and Senior Backend Software Engineers, UX/UI designers, and product managers to ensure a holistic approach to quality.
