Test Lead

 Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks (UI, API, and mobile).  Write and execute complex automated test scripts using tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Appium, or similar.  Perform hands-on testing (functional, regression, integration, performance, security) when needed to ensure release readiness.  Conduct API and backend testing (Postman, RestAssured, SQL queries, stored procedures validation).  Investigate production issues, perform root cause analysis, and propose permanent fixes. Optimize test execution pipelines within CI/CD (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI).  Ensure non-functional testing (performance, load, security) is embedded into delivery cycles.  Develop reusable test components and share them across teams.  Act as the technical escalation point for QA team members, guiding them in troubleshooting and debugging. Design Consistency: Adherence to design systems and usability standards across products.  User Satisfaction: Improvement in customer feedback, usability scores, or NPS.  Delivery: % of design deliverables completed on time and integrated into product releases.
