• Partner closely with software engineers, DevOps teams, and product stakeholders to ensure quality is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Develop testing strategies for cloud-native applications running in AWS environments, ensuring reliable performance across multiple environments.
• Validate application functionality, configurations, integrations, and feature flag implementations across development, testing, and production environments.
• Establish and maintain test data, test environments, and automation best practices to support efficient software delivery.
• Mentor and support junior QA and automation team members, helping to elevate technical capabilities and testing standards across the organization.
