Transition from test automation to broader business process automation, including straight-through processing. Deploy and manage services within Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines. Evaluate and implement technical solutions, choosing appropriately between automated test frameworks, APIs, integrations, or workflow automations. Required Qualifications Education: A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred, or equivalent professional experience. Experience: Candidates must possess extensive experience in production software engineering, demonstrating a strong career progression that emphasizes core software development over pure script-writing or manual testing.

Candidates must have a solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD environments. Experience with automation frameworks such as Playwright is highly valued.
