• Work closely with frontend, backend, and AI engineering teams to identify testability gaps early.
• Contribute to testing AI/LLM-driven features, where expected outputs may not always be deterministic.

Must Have

• 6–8 years of experience in QA/SDET or test automation roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright — mandatory.
• Hands-on mobile automation experience — mandatory using Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, or equivalent.
