What You’ll Contribute

• Design and implement robust test plans and strategies to validate APIs, backend services, and data-intensive workflows across ML and GenAI product stacks.
• Perform hands-on testing (manual and automated) across functional, regression, usability, and performance layers — including both black-box and grey-box testing techniques.
• Build and maintain automation frameworks for both API and UI layers, enabling continuous and reliable validation across environments.
• Collaborate closely with Data Engineers, Backend Engineers, and MLOps teams to test ETL pipelines, data transformations, and model deployment workflows.
• Write and execute automated tests using tools such as Selenium, RestAssured, Pytest, or Postman to validate both synchronous and asynchronous system behaviors.
• Execute complex SQL queries and data validations across RDBMS and NoSQL stores to ensure data accuracy and integrity in production-like environments.
• Integrate tests with CI / CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo Workflows), and enable shift-left testing practices as part of the engineering workflow.
• Evaluate test results, identify root causes, and log issues in defect tracking tools such as JIRA; drive continuous quality improvements and regression stability.
• Partner with QA leadership and development teams to assess test coverage, identify quality gaps, and champion testability and observability as core design principles.
• Participate in release planning, sprint ceremonies, and provide quality signals and product readiness throughout the SDLC lifecycle
