Design repeatable, environment-safe test data strategies.
Contribute to performance, resilience, and reliability validation.
Ensure authentication, authorisation, and tenancy boundaries are correctly enforced.
Lead root cause analysis for quality-related incidents and use production telemetry to strengthen future coverage.
Improve shared testing frameworks, standards, and practices while coaching engineers on writing stronger, more meaningful tests.
