End-to-End Quality Ownership

• Own quality for assigned features and projects end to end—from requirements through production.
• Develop and execute test strategy, test plans, testing activities, and release sign-off.
• Translate business, customer, and regulatory requirements into effective and risk-based test coverage.
• Identify quality risks early, partner with teams to mitigate them, and ensure quality is never compromised.

Functional, Integration & Banking Testing

• Perform functional, integration, system, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Validate end-to-end digital banking journeys across:
  • Mobile apps, APIs, core banking, and downstream systems
• Focus areas include payments, accounts, cards, onboarding flows, financial calculations, and data integrity.
• Collaborate closely during UAT and production releases; support troubleshooting and verification.
• Drive defect prevention, root-cause analysis, and continuous quality improvements.

Automation & Continuous Quality

• Design, develop, and maintain automated tests for:
  • Mobile (iOS/Android) and/or Web applications
  • APIs and backend services
• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
• Select and prioritize high-risk, high-value automation opportunities based on impact and coverage gaps.
• Ensure automation is reliable, maintainable, and scalable.
• Champion shift-left testing and quality engineering practices.

Agile Delivery & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work within Agile squads with Product Owners, Engineers, Designers, and DevOps.
• Participate actively in sprint planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and readiness checks.
• Provide clear, timely updates on quality status, risks, and release readiness.
• Support post-production validation, monitoring, and incident analysis.
