• Develop practical AI-powered solutions for test generation, automated failure triage, and self-healing tests.
• Partner with product engineering teams to help them design, implement, and maintain high-quality automated tests.
• Review testing contributions, promote strong test design practices, and establish technical standards across teams.
• Investigate failures and flaky tests across both test infrastructure and product code, driving issues through to resolution.
• Contribute throughout the full product lifecycle, from initial design and development through testing and release.
• Mentor colleagues, share knowledge, and advocate for engineering practices that improve quality and developer productivity.
• Measure the impact of quality engineering improvements and continuously identify opportunities to accelerate development workflows.
