Senior QA Automation Engineer specializing in end-to-end test strategy and scalable automation frameworks across enterprise and SaaS.
UruguayWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 15+ years of experience testing complex enterprise and SaaS platforms. I lead end-to-end work across the full testing lifecycle—from designing test strategies and building automation frameworks to coordinating multi-team releases across distributed environments.
I’ve owned automation and release validation using Selenium, Java, Maven, TestNG, and API testing (Postman), integrating test execution into CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and Jenkins. From leading a 40-engineer test factory team to embedding with internal Salesforce product teams, I focus on building quality into the process by partnering closely with developers and product owners and identifying real failure scenarios and edge cases.
