• Integrate automation into CI/CD: Run, monitor, and maintain automated tests within GitLab CI pipelines
• Improve test reliability: Investigate failed and flaky tests, identify root causes, and implement sustainable fixes
• Collaborate across teams: Work closely with developers, business analysts, manual QA engineers, and product owners to define testable scenarios
• Strengthen automation infrastructure: Maintain and improve shared testing infrastructure, reusable components, and automation frameworks
• Keep tests aligned with product changes: Proactively update automation as new functionality is planned, developed, and released
• Monitor automation effectiveness: Track test results, analyse defects identified through automated and manual testing, and identify opportunities to improve quality
• Share expertise: Mentor project QA engineers and help them take greater ownership of test automation
• Provide technical consulting: Prepare and present recommendations to the client's engineering leadership
