- Proactively identify, diagnose, and resolve complex performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges across the backend systems.
- Write comprehensive and effective unit, integration, end-to-end, and UI automation tests using frameworks like Jest, Cucumber, and other relevant front-end/back-end automation tools.
- Contribute to the build-out, and maintenance of modern CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK) and automation tools (GitLab CI or similar), integrating automated testing at various stages.
- Troubleshoot, research, and work through complex technical problems independently and collaboratively, including debugging failed automated tests and identifying root causes.
