Additionally, you will act as a key quality advocate within Agile ceremonies, collaborating closely with Product Managers and Engineers to identify risks early and ensure clear acceptance criteria. Beyond day-to-day testing, you will play a crucial role in enhancing CI/CD pipelines, improving system observability, and evolving quality engineering standards and best practices across the organization.
