• Containerization & DevOps: Design, build, and maintain containerized test environments using Docker or similar tools; contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Testing Expertise: Apply deep knowledge across all testing levels—unit, component, integration, regression, and end-to-end—to ensure comprehensive coverage.
• Enablement & Coaching: Empower development teams with testing best practices, reusable frameworks, and self-service capabilities.
• Innovation & Tooling: Research and implement modern testing tools, predictive analytics, and AI-driven testing approaches to continuously improve quality and speed.

Some other highly valued skills may include:

• Proven experience in test automation and CI/CD pipeline integration, with a focus on enabling one-click deployments
• Hands-on experience with containerization (e.g., Docker), Kubernetes, Python, shell scripting and working in cloud environments
• Solid understanding of software testing methodologies across all levels: unit, component, integration, regression, and end-to-end
• Prior experience as a software developer, with working knowledge of:
• Git/GitLab and version control workflows
• Agile methodologies and team collaboration practices
• Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• Understanding of developer needs and how testing integrates into the development process
