About the role

This is a role for someone who cares about building reliable software and wants to shape how quality is handled across an entire platform.

You will take ownership of how testing is approached across a complex product set, from core systems to AI-driven features. The focus is on making quality part of everyday development, not something checked at the end.

You will still be hands-on. That means working with automation, exploring edge cases, supporting releases, and helping teams understand where risks sit and how to reduce them. You will also guide how AI-based features are tested in a way that is practical and safe.

You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and platform teams to make sure releases are steady, predictable, and based on clear evidence.
