Nice to have

  • Keep current on industry best practices in automation, tooling, and approach, and assess their potential to improve the domain.
  • Evaluate emerging tools and AI-assisted testing practices that improve quality, efficiency, and delivery confidence.
  • Provide technical oversight of QA practices and test artifacts, reviewing work for maintainability, effectiveness, and alignment to quality standards.
  • Represent quality in leadership discussions and with internal or external stakeholders when issues require domain-level judgment and clear communication.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
