Designing, developing and maintaining automated tests across UI, APIs and backend services

Building and improving reliable and maintainable automation frameworks

Testing REST APIs, including positive and negative scenarios, authentication, authorisation and role‑based access

Creating and maintaining test plans, test cases, reusable scenarios and test reporting

Planning and undertaking regression, acceptance and exploratory testing

Integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and monitoring test execution

Troubleshooting failed and flaky tests and identifying underlying root causes

Supporting test environments and test data





Working closely with software engineers, Product Owners and technical stakeholders to identify quality risks early

Promoting shift‑left testing and embedding quality throughout the development lifecycle

Contributing to continuous improvement of QA standards, automation, processes and quality gates

Applying risk‑based testing approaches to ensure testing effort is focused where it delivers the greatest value
