- Define the approach for creating, reviewing, executing, and maintaining test cases and test scripts, working closely with Engineering and Product
- Drive adoption of AI-assisted testing (Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot), using AI to generate test cases and scripts, support debugging and maintenance, and reduce manual effort at scale

- Work with Engineering and Infrastructure teams to define, establish, and improve test environments, data, and stability
