• Identifying and resolving quality and automation blockers to maintain project velocity and proactively suggesting solutions and mitigation techniques to prevent delays to delivery.

• Gaining and maintaining expertise in Chubb standard automation frameworks, contributing to framework selection decisions and ensuring the team's tooling stays current and effective.

• Independently creating and managing test and automation scripts across projects, with a strong emphasis on reusability, maintainability, and coverage completeness.

• Developing robust and reusable automation libraries and script architectures that can be adopted across multiple project teams and delivery squads.

• Designing comprehensive quality strategies for complex products within projects, covering functional, integration, performance, and regression testing dimensions.

• Presenting quality strategies, test results, and risk assessments in project reviews and sprint demonstrations, communicating clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality feedback throughout the development lifecycle, reducing the cost of defect discovery.

• Defining and enforcing automation standards, coding patterns, and best practices across engineering teams to ensure consistency and long-term maintainability of the test estate.

• Establishing performance baselines, thresholds, and SLA targets in collaboration with architects and platform owners and tracking degradation trends across releases.

• Mentoring Quality Engineers to foster hands-on growth through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and direct guidance, actively contributing to increasing the automation and performance practices

• Designing test suits and strategies focused on performance optimization, and extending this practice across the Digital Transformation model
