- Maintain and prioritize open issues and bugs to ensure effective tracking and resolution
- Define and execute testing for OOTB connectors, ensuring seamless integration with external systems
- Validate end-to-end identity flows: provisioning, reconciliation, entitlement sync, and JML (joiner-mover-leaver) scenarios
- Lead API and contract testing (REST APIs, webhooks, schema validation, error handling, throttling)
- Design and build automation frameworks and test utilities, including mocks/simulations for external systems
- Ensure data integrity and mapping accuracy across source and target systems
- Test for scale, performance, and resilience (bulk operations, retries, partial failures, outages)
- Integrate QA into CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows, enforcing quality gates
