• Identify, document, prioritize, and validate defects while collaborating closely with developers.
• Manage test environments and test data to ensure reliable and repeatable testing.
• Monitor quality metrics, dashboards, and test coverage to provide insight into product quality.
• Drive continuous improvements in QA processes, tooling, and automation.
• Apply AI-powered testing solutions where they add value, including AI-assisted test creation, failure analysis, and intelligent automation.
• Coach and support fellow QA engineers, helping the team continuously improve and coordinating QA activities across projects.
• Drive release quality by coordinating testing activities, assessing release readiness, and making informed go/no-go recommendations.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and stakeholders to ensure quality is embedded throughout the development process.
