About The Role

• Coach and mentor engineers on quality practices — testable design, effective test strategy, and shared ownership of quality
• Build, maintain, and evolve testing tooling and integrations within CI pipelines
• Partner closely with developers, product managers, and other quality engineers to identify risk areas and prioritize test coverage
• Continuously improve test suites for reliability, speed, and maintainability
