• Analyze test results using framework and product logs, and investigate failures down to root cause.
• Extend and support the Python automation framework, and build internal tools that make testing faster and more reliable.
• Modernize the framework by improving CI/CD integration, parallel execution, and stability, and by reducing flaky tests.
• Identify weak points in existing automated flows, fix them, and track their efficiency over time.
• Partner with Development, DevOps, and TechOps to align automation priorities with company strategy.
• Take part in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, Increment planning) and contribute ideas that improve our tools and processes.

What you bring
