Strong programming skills in at least one modern language, such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Python, or C#.
Experience integrating automation into CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience testing LLM or Agentic AI features including semantic scoring, prompt regression strategies, and structured evaluation reports.
Familiarity with modern quality approaches including test pyramid, contract testing, consumer-driven contracts, risk-based testing, and shift-left practices.
Knowledge of security and performance testing integration.
Experience building reusable automation libraries shared across multiple teams or products.
Proficiency in Python as a secondary scripting or automation language.
