• Create, execute, and manage comprehensive test plans and test cases for complex, distributed systems and cloud‑native architectures.
  
  
• Validate functionality, performance, and security across multi‑tenant SaaS platforms and customer‑hosted (on‑premises) deployments.
  
  
• Collaborate with development, DevOps, and product teams to embed testing into the Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality assurance.
  
  
• Implement AI/ML‑driven testing approaches to optimize regression coverage, identify risk‑prone areas, and accelerate validation cycles.
  
  
• Conduct thorough API testing and integrate tests into continuous integration workflows.
  
  
• Work closely with engineering leadership to continuously refine test strategies, coverage metrics, and quality gates.
  
  
• Use Git for version control and actively participate in code reviews of test automation code.
  
  
• Document test design decisions, maintain traceability, and support internal and external audit/compliance requirements.
  
  

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  
  
• 5–7 years of experience in software test automation or SDET roles, with a focus on enterprise‑grade SaaS and on‑premises applications.
  
  
• Strong programming skills in C#, with solid experience using Selenium and Playwright.
  
  
• Deep understanding of cloud environments (preferably Azure) and on‑premises system integration challenges.
  
  
• Expertise with Azure DevOps pipelines and automated deployment/testing workflows.
  
  
• Strong knowledge of Git, branching strategies, and collaborative code development.
  
  
• Proven ability to write clear and detailed test plans, test cases, and test data strategies for complex systems.
  
  
• Hands‑on experience with AI‑based test tools or methodologies (e.g., intelligent test selection, autonomous test creation, self‑healing scripts).
  
  
• Strong knowledge of REST APIs and automated API testing techniques.
  
  

We’d Love To See

• Experience testing multi‑tier, microservices‑based enterprise applications.
  
  
• Exposure to containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  
  
• Understanding of enterprise compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and their impact on testing strategies.
  
  
• ISTQB certification or equivalent is a plus.
