Responsibilities :

Define and lead the end-to-end test strategy for a phased platform migration, ensuring clarity on the current state, target state, and transition approach.

Architect scalable and reusable test automation frameworks (component, integration, end-to-end, API, and performance).

Collaborate with engineering leadership to determine what tests need to be built, what needs to coexist, and where risk is highest.

Work closely with teams involved in IDP migration (e.g., Okta → Auth0), ensuring test coverage accounts for user action flows and identity management behavior.

Ensure test automation supports and is fully integrated into CI / CD workflows (GitHub Actions).

Guide testing related to data migration , ensuring validation of behavior, state, and compatibility across existing and new systems.

Support testing for SOCKS-relevant connectivity to ensure compliance and traceability.

Partner with platform and DevOps teams on testing implications related to AWS , Kubernetes / AKS , and environment configuration.
