You’ll help shape a culture where quality is everyone’s responsibility, driving initiatives that improve testing strategies, automation, tooling, and continuous delivery. Key Responsibilities
• Embed quality early in the development process through shift-left testing, risk-based analysis, and clear acceptance criteria.
• Coach teams on testing best practices including TDD, BDD, exploratory testing, and test design.
• Collaborate on tooling strategy, selecting and integrating test automation frameworks and CI / CD quality gates.
• Facilitate quality workshops, retrospectives, and pairing sessions to foster continuous learning.
• Lead cross-team initiatives to define and share quality standards, reusable assets, and lessons learned.
• Monitor and improve quality metrics, using data to drive decisions and identify areas for improvement.
• Advocate for sustainable quality, balancing speed, reliability, and user experience. Best Practices You’ll Champion
• Shift-left testing and early feedback loops
• Test automation across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers
• Exploratory testing and heuristics-based approaches
• Continuous integration and deployment with quality gates
• Observability and monitoring for production confidence
• Collaborative ownership of quality across roles Objectives & Milestones What You Will Bring

• Excellent facilitation and communication skills
• Passion for mentoring and enabling others
• Data-driven mindset with experience using metrics to guide improvement Bonus Skills
• Experience with observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Datadog, Prometheus)
