Own quality end-to-end for an assigned product squad: from test strategy through release confidence
Partner with developers and product managers at the design stage to define acceptance criteria and build testability into features from the start
Design, develop, and maintain Playwright-based automated tests following Page Object Model (POM) patterns and the team's established automation architecture
Write and maintain automation in TypeScript/JavaScript, contributing to shared frameworks and raising coverage standards across the team
Collaborate with engineers on system design, API contracts, and application architecture to ensure observable, testable behavior
Own your squad's test reliability — identify, analyze, and eliminate flakiness with the same urgency as a production bug
Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines using tagging strategies (e.g., smoke, regression) so every deployment ships with clear quality gates
Apply AI-assisted development tools — code generation, test generation, failure analysis — to improve coverage and productivity
Perform manual and exploratory testing where it adds signal that automation cannot, and convert findings into durable automated coverage
Contribute to junior QA team members' growth through code reviews, pairing, and direct feedback
Uphold NinjaTrader SDLC and information security standards
