Pratyush Mehta — Engineering Manager
I am an Engineering Manager – SDET with 13+ years of experience building high-performing Quality Engineering teams and driving quality strategy across large-scale, high-traffic consumer products in the Streaming, Video, and Playback domains. My expertise lies in scaling automation, building robust frameworks, and driving release excellence across mobile, web, and backend systems. Over the years, I have led org-critical quality initiatives, established modern CI/CD pipelines, and architected end-to-end automation ecosystems using XCUITest, Compose UI, Playwright, Karate, and cloud-native tooling. In my current role, I manage a 25-member Media Services QE vertical, where I focus on strategic planning, roadmap execution, and elevating engineering efficiency through automation, tooling, and competency-based hiring. I’ve played a key role in initiatives such as Full Continuous Deployment, sports data automation platforms, live-stream monitoring systems, and performance/chaos engineering game days. Previously at Disney+ Hotstar, I led quality for high-impact launches including multiple IPL seasons, global country rollouts, and large-scale architectural rewrites. I’ve also built device labs, app release automations, cross-platform snapshot frameworks, and extensive performance benchmarking systems. I’m passionate about shift-left quality, reliability engineering, and empowering teams to deliver faster without compromising quality. I enjoy solving complex problems, mentoring teams, and building systems that scale. If you’re working on high-scale consumer platforms, engineering transformation, or quality automation strategy—I’d love to connect.
