Apply proven automation and software design patterns to build modular, extensible automation solutions
Define automation standards, coding guidelines, and best practices across teams
Lead adoption and maturity of Behavior‑Driven Development (BDD) practices
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define clear, testable acceptance criteria
Ensure feature files remain readable, meaningful, and aligned with business intent
Maintain a strong hands‑on presence across the testing lifecycle: requirements analysis, test strategy, automation development, execution, and reporting
Drive automation across UI, API, and integration layers with clear ownership of coverage and quality signals
Lead API automation testing for microservices‑based and backend systems
