Lead Engineer in Test (SDET) @ FICO (Serving Notice Period) | Playwright, TypeScript, Rest Assured, k6, Postman | Ex-Amazon, Walmart, AppDynamics | Test Automation Architecture, AWS

About

Lead Engineer in Test (SDET) with 10+ years building automation for products at FICO, Cisco (AppDynamics), Walmart, and Amazon. I own quality end-to-end — UI, API, and performance — for systems built to scale. Current stack: Playwright + TypeScript for UI, Rest Assured (Java) for API, k6 for performance, Postman for API validation. At FICO, I test TRAC and the Ingestion Service — entity models, real-time scoring, and data pipelines across REST, Kafka/Pulsar, and batch ingestion on cell-based AWS infrastructure. Background in Selenium, Appium, and Cypress from earlier roles at Amazon, Walmart, and AppDynamics, where I built mobile and web automation frameworks from scratch and led teams of up to 4 engineers. I care about defect prevention over defect detection, CI/CD pipelines that don't flake, and automation that actually gets maintained after I write it. Open to conversations on SDET / test architecture roles. 📩 rizwaniiit@gmail.com
