• Utilise LLM-based accelerators to improve automation productivity

Client Engagement & Delivery

• Serve as the primary testing automation point of contact for client engagements, translating business requirements into test strategies
• Communicate testing progress, risks, and outcomes clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Build trusted relationships with clients and act as a strategic advisor on quality engineering and AI adoption in testing

DevOps & CI/CD Integration

• Embed automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins
• Implement parallel test execution and cloud-based test grids (e.g., BrowserStack, Sauce Labs) for scale
• Monitor test metrics, coverage dashboards, and quality KPIs to drive continuous improvement
• Manage test environments and test data provisioning in collaboration with DevOps and infrastructure teams

Collaboration

• Lead and mentor junior QA engineers and automation developers within project teams
• Drive knowledge sharing, peer reviews, and internal capability building in AI-driven testing practices
• Contribute to Alkemiz’s testing practice development, including tooling evaluations, accelerator assets, and methodology refinement
