3. Test Automation at Scale
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks (API, integration, system, end-to-end)
- Integrate automated tests seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines
- Ensure test coverage aligns with risk, not just code coverage
- Build tooling to improve test execution efficiency and observability
4. Operational Support & Incident Response
- Respond to pipeline, release, and production-impacting issues
- Participate in triage, on-call rotations, and incident resolution
- Debug high-complexity failures across code, infrastructure, and environments
- Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and preventative fixes
5. Reliability & Continuous Improvement
- Create automated solutions to improve reliability, scalability, and efficiency
- Identify systemic issues and eliminate manual processes
- Introduce metrics, dashboards, and alerts for build/test/release health
- Champion best practices in testing, automation, and release management
6. Technical Leadership & Collaboration (Senior-Level Expectation)
- Influence architecture and design for testability and reliability
- Mentor junior engineers on automation and CI/CD practices
- Partner closely with DevOps, Platform, and Infrastructure teams
- Drive standards and long-term quality strategy
A day in the life

- Analyze failures, identify root causes, and implement fixes to prevent recurrence
- Develop, maintain, and improve automated test solutions integrated into pipelines
- Work with developers and DevOps engineers to improve testability, reliability, and release efficiency
- Contribute to documentation, dashboards, and metrics for build and release tracking
