In this role, you will be integral to the end-to-end quality assurance process, ensuring that every software release meets high standards. Your responsibilities will include:
- Owning quality from code inception through to deployment, ensuring every feature meets rigorous standards.

- Familiarity with integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills across various systems.
- Ability to maintain scalable and effective automated test frameworks and document processes.
