• Leverage AI-assisted tools for test case generation, synthetic data creation, failure analysis, and coverage documentation;

• Own performance and reliability validation including load, stress, spike, and soak testing, establishing baselines and identifying bottlenecks;

• Partner with engineers throughout the development cycle to align on test strategy, acceptance criteria, and CI/CD integration via Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions;

• Validate third-party integrations through contract testing, sandbox/staging validation, and failure mode analysis;

• Track and report quality metrics, maintain documentation, and contribute to incident post-mortems.
