• Coordinate closely with engineering and product teams throughout the development lifecycle.
• Identify and track defects, conduct root cause analysis, and drive resolution across systems.
• Champion continuous improvement in test coverage, automation, performance testing, and CI/CD workflows.
• Generate and communicate meaningful test metrics and reports to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in QA, test automation, or software engineering roles, including:
• Leading QA for mature, complex platforms.
• Building test strategies aligned with agile development.
• Designing and maintaining automated testing frameworks.
• Prioritizing and managing QA efforts across multiple teams or projects.
