• Collaborate with DevOps teams to integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab).
• Validate RESTful, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs, and ensure robust coverage of integration and regression scenarios.
• Write and optimize SQL queries for data validation, transformation testing, and profiling.
• Automate test cases for data ingestion, transformation logic, schema evolution, and API interactions.
• Monitor QA KPIs and visualize test results using Grafana, Kibana, or similar tools.
• Apply best practices in BDD, TDD, and QA governance, including compliance and data privacy.
• Identify defects early and ensure continuous improvement through root cause analysis and collaboration.
