• Own QA Platform Strategy & Roadmap • Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the QA Platform — what to build, in what order, and why. Prioritise ruthlessly for maximum impact. • Make high-impact architectural and tooling decisions that shape how quality works across the entire engineering organisation. • Track adoption, usage, and developer satisfaction. The platform only succeeds if engineers actually use it — driving adoption and engagement is as important as building the tools. • Build Reusable Quality Tools & Infrastructure • Design and build reusable tools, frameworks, and self-serve quality infrastructure that engineering teams use to ship with confidence — reducing friction to near zero. • Partner with the existing SDET to extend and scale the current e2e testing framework into a broader platform with wider capabilities. • Create internal developer-facing tools with excellent DX — documentation, clear APIs, easy onboarding. If it's hard to use, it won't be used. • Lead AI-Native Quality Tooling • Build agentic e2e testing capabilities — LLM-driven test generation from user stories and acceptance criteria, running in sandboxed environments. • Develop AI-powered workflows for test generation, edge-case fuzzing, visual regression, contract validation, and exploratory testing. • Create and maintain a knowledge base of QA best practices, agent skills, MCP servers, and prompt templates that any team can leverage. • Continuously evaluate and integrate new AI capabilities as models and tooling improve. • Scale Across the Organisation • Work with every product team to embed quality tooling into their development workflow — making it part of how code is written and shipped, not an afterthought. • Onboard teams that currently have no QA coverage into the shared quality ecosystem through self-serve tooling. • Build tools that scale independently of QA headcount — the platform should multiply every engineer's ability to ship quality software, not create dependency on the QA team.

• Understand the business requirements, functionality, workflow, screen navigation and acquire good knowledge on the application to be tested • Raise functional / business clarifications • Design the Test condition, Test case and Test data document • Incorporation of review comments on the Test ware prepared • Logging of test execution results – pass logs, defect logs, re-raise logs and closure logs
