• Help guide cloud architecture decisions and establish reusable implementation patterns.
• Support platform engineering efforts and contribute to emerging AI-enabled development and delivery workflows.
• Build and execute automated test suites for web applications (UI, API, and end-to-end).
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality.

• Practical enterprise experience building and supporting cloud-native solutions. Deep AWS specialization is not required, but candidates should understand how to apply AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudWatch, IAM) using established architectural best practices.
• Solid understanding of automation design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model).
• Strong API testing experience (REST/GraphQL).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
