• Partner with Product and Development during sprint ceremonies to clarify acceptance criteria and sign off on releases.

Test Automation with Playwright (≈50%)

• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end and API automated tests using Playwright with TypeScript.
• Apply maintainable framework patterns (Page Object Model, fixtures, reusable helpers, test data management).
• Identify which manual test cases should be automated and convert stable, high-value scenarios into automated regression coverage.
• Investigate and fix flaky tests using Playwright Trace Viewer, logs, screenshots, and video.
• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines with parallel execution and run cross-browser tests on BrowserStack Automate.
• Report automation results and quality metrics (coverage, pass rate, defect trends) to the team and stakeholders.
