Required Skills8+ years QA across functional and automation.Strong Java - able to write and debug framework code, not just scripts.Selenium, Cucumber/BDD, solid SQL.Proven experience debugging, fixing and improving automation frameworks in AWS (EC2/ECS, S3, SQS, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM).Track record of measurably reducing regression runtime and flakiness.Jenkins/CI-CD, Maven, Git.Strong analytical mindset; able to work independently through intermittent, ambiguous failures.
