• Implement automation solutions to support certification of new software releases, CVE-related remediations, and post-upgrade validation across the install base.
• Ensure comprehensive validation across UI/visual application workflows, APIs, system integrations, and voice and telephony communication flows.
• Support the transition from manual testing to automation-first validation models and define risk-based test coverage strategies.
• Establish standardized testing practices enabling continuous validation within CI/CD pipelines and drive adoption of modern testing methodologies like BDD.

• Experience working in Agile delivery environments, collaborating across cross-functional teams.
• Proven ability to define and implement risk-based test coverage strategies, spanning both manual and automated testing.
• Demonstrated experience reducing manual testing dependency through automation at scale.
• Experience with Robotic Process Automation.

• Exposure to voice and telephony systems (e.g., VoIP, SIP, call recording, or unified communications platforms).
• Experience validating real-time communications workflows and audio-based interactions.
• Familiarity with low-code/no-code test automation platforms and AI-assisted testing tools.
• Experience working with or integrating vendor-provided testing frameworks.
• Knowledge of compliance-driven testing and audit-defensible validation practices.
