• Build and maintain automated test suites, prioritizing high-value and high-risk areas to improve efficiency and release confidence.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, design, and security teams to understand system architecture and ensure quality alignment across all initiatives.
• Identify defect patterns and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve root causes and improve long-term system stability.
• Participate in end-to-end delivery activities including requirements analysis, design reviews, testing, deployment, and production validation.
• Leverage AI and modern testing tools to enhance test coverage, automation efficiency, and overall engineering productivity.
• Provide technical leadership in diagnosing production issues and supporting resolution, including escalation and workaround definition when needed.
• Produce clear, detailed documentation supporting testing processes, system behavior, and quality standards.
