• Create and execute SQL queries to verify data integrity, transformations, persistence, and end-to-end processing across supported databases.
• Plan and execute functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing across complex application workflows.
• Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions and delivery pipelines, analyse failures, and support quality gates.
• Develop and execute performance tests using Gatling and, where relevant, JMeter or k6.
• Investigate defects, provide reproducible evidence, and work with developers and product stakeholders to drive resolution.
• Maintain clear test results, coverage visibility, and reusable test assets while continuously improving automation effectiveness.
