Lead the development and execution of smoke, regression, and end-to-end test suites exclusively using Playwright, with reliable assertions, test isolation, and cross-browser coverage. Manage the Node.js/TypeScript automation project and dependencies using npm, maintain source code in Git, and integrate Playwright tests and execution reports into CI/CD pipelines. 3. AI-Assisted QA Engineering Actively leverage modern AI tools such as Cursor AI and GitHub Copilot to draft test cases, generate automation scripts, and optimize code efficiency. Stay ahead of the curve by integrating AI capabilities to significantly reduce manual testing overhead and script maintenance time. 4. Lifecycle Management & Agile Practices Lead the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), including test strategy, effort estimation, test planning, execution, defect triage, and release-readiness reporting for Salesforce applications. Actively participate in all Agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives), collaborating closely with Developers, Business Analysts, and Product Owners. Manage test artifacts, write comprehensive test cases, and track bugs expertly within Jira.
