Integrate and maintain test execution in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent). . Validate container image hardening, scan outputs, and SBOM/RBOM generation across base distributions (Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian, Alpine). . Manage and improve test artifacts/reporting (.html, .log, .json) for fast triage. . Troubleshoot environment/auth/configuration drift across runners and VMs. . Maintain high-quality handover docs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides. . Partner with dev/platform teams to stabilize flaky tests and shorten feedback loops. . .
