PR-gated agent E2E

Jenkins pipelines for Business Plus and Basic/Pro subscriptions so agent regressions never skip CI

  1. SDET — Agentic Hiring

    May 2026 — Present · 5 mos

    Upwork Inc. 🇺🇸

    • Built the Playwright E2E quality harness for an agentic hiring agent covering 4 agent stages (JD simplify, sourcing, 11-dimension LLM rating, shortlisting) across 3 client surfaces — 40+ specs, 2 CI pipelines, 30+ agent regressions caught before release.
    • Designed a deterministic fixture layer for a non-deterministic LLM pipeline (11 scoring dimensions, 5 hard filters, Temporal rounds up to 24h) so scoring lands in the same bucket run after run — 5 stage data-generators that produce known opening states.
    • Established layered deterministic + probabilistic validation across 3 experiment cells and 5 GA rollout chunks, raising release confidence for one of the platform’s highest-stakes agent launches.
    • Drove shift-left across 2 FE/BE teams, moving QA from banner/UI checks to decision-quality validation (eligibility, shortlist composition, invite vs. notification economics, audit APIs) — cutting regression triage time by 30%.

    • Shift-Left Testing
    • Migrated test suites for several products from the legacy Ruby framework to a modern Playwright e2e setup.
    • Collaborated on the design of scalable automated test frameworks for backend and web platforms.
    • Defined test strategies and test plans with engineering and product, and integrated automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable feedback.
    • Drove shift-left practices and mentored engineers on automation across integration, functional, API and performance layers.
    • Established the QA portion of the CI/CD pipeline, improving deployment efficiency by 30%.
    • Conducted backend QA for 20 microservices over REST and GraphQL APIs, ensuring 99.9% reliability.
    • Introduced Gatling for backend API load testing, resolving bottlenecks that cut average response times by 10%.
    • Designed and executed A/B tests on relevance algorithms with LLM-based query understanding — +25% search precision and +15% successful job matches for 500,000+ users.
    • Executed comprehensive testing for the AWS migration, ensuring a seamless transition with zero downtime.
  2. Owned end-to-end test planning and reporting (–30% post-release defects), validated REST APIs with Postman, and automated UI flows via Ghost Inspector (–40% manual time, +25% coverage).

  3. Automated the full legacy manual suite (–70% regression time), built 100+ UI & REST tests with TestNG + Selenium, managed Jenkins CI/CD (–50% deploy failures), and ran JMeter performance tuning (+20% perf).

  4. Designed automation scripts for 50+ user stories (+40% process efficiency), validated REST APIs across 30+ stories (–25% integration issues), and shaped end-to-end testing strategy.

  5. Automated 80+ cases with JBehave + Selenium (–50% regression time) and executed 100+ manual tests (+30% defect detection).

  6. Led a 4-person QA team running daily pre-prod regressions; tracked 100+ bugs in Jira at a 90% pre-release resolution rate; coordinated daily with a US-based dev team.
