Act as the tactical executor of quality assurance within sprints and the QA owner inside a squad. Bridge requirements with automation‑ready and sustainable test coverage, collaborating closely with developers under a QA Shift‑Left approach. TASKS & RESPONSABILITIES Overview : . Own sprint-level QA: test planning, story testability, data, manual & exploratory runs, and story-level automation following Organization set standards. . Collaborate Shift‑Left with developers: write automation early, review acceptance criteria, propose testability improvements. . Keep a squad regression checklist; nominate cases to the shared/domain regression as per organization process standards     Track squad quality signals (coverage, pass/fail, leakage, flakiness); contribute to dashboards; lead squad defect triage and RCA with devs. Sprint-Level Quality Ownership . Own all QA activities for assigned user stories, ensuring complete functional and integration coverage. · Create and maintain sprint‑level test plans aligned with acceptance criteria and integration needs. · Actively participate in refinement to clarify acceptance criteria and ensure testability (Shift‑Left). · Maintain a squad‑level regression checklist; propose candidates for broader regression to the QA Product Lead. Test Case Design & Execution . Design high‑quality, reusable, modular test cases for functional, negative, edge, and API scenarios. . Ensure test cases are automation‑ready and follow organizational standards defined by QA Lead (Org). . Execute manual and exploratory testing within each sprint. . Prepare and maintain test data sets to support consistent execution across environments. . Evaluate relevance of test cases and propose refactoring/removal of obsolete tests. Automation Contribution . Implement and maintain story‑level automated tests using approved frameworks (Selenium, Postman, Gherkin/Java). . Follow framework architecture and coding standards defined by QA Lead (Org). . Collaborate with developers to ensure automation is created early in the sprint (Shift‑Left). . Investigate automation failures, apply fixes under code review, and identify root causes. . Flag flaky tests, propose stabilization improvements, and implement approved fixes. Quality Governance (Squad Level) . Track and report quality signals: coverage, execution rate, defect leakage, automation stability. . Provide quality insights to QA Product Lead and Domain Engineering Manager for dashboards and governance. . Recommend process or tooling improvements while ensuring alignment with organizational standards. . Promote Shift‑Left practices by improving user story readiness and acceptance criteria quality. . Participate in squad retrospectives to improve test planning, coverage, and testability. Defect Management . Coordinate with QA Product Lead on Squad Assigned Defects assignment and resolution based on SLA/MTR. . Lead squad‑level defect triage, ensuring accuracy of severity, priority, and reproduction paths. . Ensure defects include logs, payloads, data, and screenshots to accelerate investigation. . Collaborate with developers on root‑cause analysis and validate corrective actions. . Expand regression coverage by adding checks for fixed defects and recommending broader regression candidates. Collaboration . Fully embedded in one or more squads, collaborating daily with developers, PO, and UX/UI. . Participate in all Agile ceremonies, driving quality‑focused conversations. . Coach junior testers on test design, exploratory testing, and story readiness. . Coordinate with other squads QA engineers when stories span multiple domains or integration points. Limited Beta / Pre‑Release Support . Support targeted beta actions for squad‑owned features (exploratory, smoke, usability checks). . Escalate broader beta campaign needs to QA Prod Lead to avoid scope overlap wit
