WORK EXPERIENCE

Pine Labs Mobile Programming July 2025 – Nov 2025

Software Engineer (Automation)

Worked on a loyalty and rewards platform enabling dealers and distributors to earn and redeem reward points based on purchases and sales activities. Enhanced and maintained existing API and UI automation frameworks to validate reward processing, transaction workflows, and integration with external voucher systems (Amazon, Flipkart).

Key Technologies: Java, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, TypeScript, REST Assured, Cucumber (BDD), Postman, Jenkins (CI/CD), Data-Driven Testing, TestNG, Maven, Grafana, SQL/Database Testing, Extent Reports, Agile/Scrum

Responsibilities:

•Enhanced and extended the existing API automation framework using Java, REST Assured, and Cucumber BDD, adapting reusable step definitions to validate reward processing, transaction workflows, and dealer/distributor point calculations for the loyalty and rewards platform.

•Wrote 30+ Selenium WebDriver-based test scripts in Java to automate web portal workflows including dealer onboarding, reward tracking dashboards, and redemption flows, covering both new and existing dealer/distributor scenarios.

•Integrated API and UI automation suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to trigger automated regression and functional tests on every build, generating Extent Reports for quick visibility into failures before releases and cutting regression cycle time from 1-2 days of manual testing down to roughly 2-4 hours.

•Analysed Swagger API documentation to design comprehensive test cases covering 15+ endpoints across positive, negative, and boundary conditions for reward processing and voucher redemption, including integrations with Amazon and Flipkart.

•Automated dealer onboarding, reward tracking, and redemption workflows using Playwright, covering login/authentication, form submissions, and end-to-end validations, with reusable page-level methods integrated into the regression suite.

•Performed API testing using REST Assured and Postman across 25+ endpoints to validate status codes, response payloads, and data integrity between the UI and backend microservices powering the content search and retrieval engine.

•Conducted cross-browser and cross-platform testing using BrowserStack and Sauce Labs to ensure consistent search and content display behaviour across browsers and operating systems.

•Generated Allure Reports for test execution results and shared insights with the development team, highlighting failing search scenarios and content retrieval issues for faster defect resolution.

•Logged and tracked defects in JIRA with detailed reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and screenshots covering search accuracy, content display, and metadata issues, to support faster resolution.

•Automated search, filtering, and content retrieval workflows using Playwright, including login authentication and end-to-end content display validations, building reusable page-level methods for the regression suite.
