• Implement resilience in the framework — retry with backoff, health checks and readiness gates, graceful handling of transient cloud failures.
• Improve the end-to-end AWS regression process — reduce runtime via parallelisation and sharding, drive down flaky tests against measurable targets, and add failure trend dashboards and automatic artefact capture.
• Analyse logs and stack traces to isolate root cause; classify failures as product defect, script defect, test data, environment or timing.
• Integrate and maintain suites in CI/CD; partner with DevOps and Development to clear infrastructure blockers and communicate risk.
• 8+ years QA across functional and automation.
