• Lead the adoption of QA best practices, from unit testing guidance to end-to-end (E2E) automation, in collaboration with technical leadership.
• Define acceptable quality gates and key metrics to measure software quality, ensuring a balance between high standards and delivery velocity.
• Identify, document, and track defects, working closely with developers to ensure timely resolution and prevent regressions.
• Conduct load and stress testing to ensure the scalability of our AI-driven solutions.
• Partner with Engineering and DevOps teams to integrate testing into the CI/CD pipeline and promote a "quality-first" culture.

• Mastery of Git and extensive experience with bug-tracking systems like Jira.
• Ability to drive the adoption of testing best practices across the development lifecycle, from unit testing frameworks to complex end-to-end (E2E) automation strategies.
• Capability in defining and implementing rigorous quality gates that balance high software standards with the need for continuous delivery and team velocity.
• Proficiency in establishing and monitoring technical KPIs and quality metrics to objectively evaluate and improve software reliability and performance.
• Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken), with the ability to explain complex problems to different stakeholders.
