• Shift quality left by reviewing requirements and designs early, challenging ambiguous criteria
• Own release risk assessment and articulate what was tested, what wasn’t, and residual risk
• Write exemplary bug reports with reproduction steps, environment details, evidence, severity and priority
• Own and curate regression suite; retire outdated cases and identify high-value automation candidates
• Test APIs and integrations using Postman or similar; validate payloads and status codes
• Query databases to validate data, investigate discrepancies, and build test data
