Analyze test failures and improve signal quality, ensuring tests fail for the right reasons and provide actionable diagnostics.
Drive test data, environment readiness, and observability to support reliable automation execution.
Partner early with developers, product owners, and business analysts to shape requirements, define acceptance criteria, and prevent defects.
Champion engineering-led quality practices that align with the bank's SDLC, risk controls, and regulatory expectations.
Provide technical direction and mentorship to fellow QA engineers, helping the team align to defined testing strategy, standards, and bank-approved frameworks.
