Code Quality Principles: Sound understanding of coding principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS) and their applicability in test codebases to produce stable, reliable, non-flaky tests. CI/CD & Reporting: Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (ideally GitHub Actions) and leveraging test reporting tools like Allure or comparable frameworks. Tools & Ecosystem: Proficiency with Git, Jira, and Confluence. Experience with Angular, SSO/multitenant authentication, or the broader Atlassian suite is a plus. Skills & Experience: A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in QA automation, including senior ownership of a large test suite.
