Champion Automation & Tools

• Lead the rollout of unit, integration, and E2E test frameworks.

Post-Release Monitoring & Continuous Feedback

• Collaborate with Engineering & Product on rapid triage, ensuring that real-world issues are quickly identified, prioritized, and addressed.
• Own or coordinate post-mortems and drive structural changes to prevent repeated issues.

• Exceptional leadership and communication skills; proven ability to influence org-wide quality culture.
• Comfortable collaborating with product, engineering, and support for a seamless user experience.
