Validate data integrity and business logic across multiple data sources and environments.
Build and maintain test plans, test scripts, and test data to support reliable, production-ready releases.
Continuously improve automation infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
Ensure strong automated test coverage for backend and data features.
Perform root cause analysis of issues found in automation and communicate findings clearly.
Work closely with Backend, Data Engineering, and Product teams to review requirements and define effective automation strategies.
Troubleshoot technical challenges independently and propose practical, scalable solutions.
Stay up to date with backend and data automation best practices, tools, and industry trends.
