Develops a deep understanding of product functionality, system architecture, and customer usage patterns to inform testing approaches.
Contributes to test strategy by identifying quality risks, gaps in coverage, and opportunities to improve confidence in releases.
Influences broader testing direction through technical leadership and collaboration rather than ownership of formal approval gates.
Designs, implements, and maintains high-quality automated tests across appropriate layers, including API, integration, and system-level testing.
Continuously evaluates existing test coverage, strengthens weak areas, and reduces redundant or low-value tests.
Executes tests as needed to validate changes and support release readiness.
Builds and maintains reliable, maintainable automated test suites integrated into CI pipelines.
Improves test stability, execution speed, and signal quality to support fast and safe development workflows.
Works closely with engineers to ensure tests run effectively across branches and environments.
Executes existing load and performance tests, reviews and reports results, and maintains the test suite as needed.
Partners with Load and Performance test engineers who own performance test creation and expansion.
Contributes to technical design discussions from a quality and testability perspective.
Dives deep into complex systems to diagnose issues, understand failure modes, and identify root causes.
Proposes pragmatic improvements to architecture, testing approaches, or tooling to reduce long-term quality risk.
Helps define and evolve test and quality metrics that provide meaningful insight into system health and testing effectiveness.
Uses data to guide decisions, prioritize improvements, and surface systemic issues.
Contributes to documentation, runbooks, and best practices that improve team efficiency and consistency.
Works closely with Engineering and Product partners to ensure quality considerations are addressed throughout the development lifecycle.
Influences testing standards, practices, and tooling adoption through example, technical credibility, and constructive collaboration.
