- Actively use GitHub Copilot and Devin to generate, optimize, and review automation scripts — accelerating coverage and reducing manual effort.
- Author and maintain Devin Playbooks tailored specifically for Test Automation Developers and QE Engineers — covering script generation, framework scaffolding, test data setup, and common automation patterns.
- Optimize and validate Devin-generated output — reviewing AI-produced scripts for correctness, maintainability, and alignment with team standards before integration.
- Integrate and execute regression suites via Selenium Grid and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
- Contribute to backlog grooming, sprint planning, and test strategy aligned with acceptance criteria.
- Track defects, collaborate closely with developers on fixes, and drive quality throughout the SDLC.
- Mentor junior automation engineers on both traditional and AI-augmented QE workflows.
Required skills

- Must have 3+ years in test automation with deep expertise in Playwright (JS/TypeScript).
- Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python; strong in Node.js-based automation pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot and Devin for AI-assisted automation script development.
- Demonstrated ability to create Devin Playbooks tailored for QE and test automation use cases — enabling repeatable, scalable AI-driven workflows across the team.
- Skilled in evaluating and refining Devin output — ensuring generated code meets quality, coverage, and maintainability standards.
- Proven ability to build frameworks from scratch using BDD (Cucumber) and TDD approaches.
- Solid grasp of CI/CD (Jenkins), Git, and collaborative dev workflows.
- Working knowledge of SQL/NoSQL for data validation and backend testing.
- Experienced in Agile/Scrum, JIRA, and cross-functional collaboration.
