Job description

Job Summary:

Provides senior quality engineering oversight for complex solutions and release streams, establishing risk-based coverage, governing execution quality, and contributing strong release recommendations for multi-system platform, integration, and client-facing deliveries.

Job Description:

• Translate architecture, BRD/SRD, API contracts, workflow rules, and change scope into a risk-based quality plan with clear priorities and signoff criteria.
• Direct functional, integration, regression, UAT-support, and production-readiness activities across multiple contributors or project streams.
• Own overall defect quality posture for assigned releases, including severity calibration, triage leadership input, escape-risk assessment, and closure confidence.
• Validate high-risk end-to-end journeys that span routing, IVR, CRM, middleware, reporting, downstream enterprise systems, and operational user roles.
• Drive readiness reporting to delivery leadership with clear recommendations, release conditions, unresolved risk statements, and mitigation actions.
• Standardize reusable QA artifacts, templates, traceability controls, evidence expectations, and regression baselines across delivery teams.
• Guide automation direction by prioritizing repetitive and high-value validation areas suitable for API, UI, or regression automation.
• Mentor QA engineers and project teams on test design depth, evidence discipline, test data strategy, and release-confidence decision making.
• Partner with project management, implementation, development, and operations teams to improve quality outcomes, lower defect leakage, and strengthen go-live control.
