Responsibilities
- Own the test strategy and execution for the squad: acceptance, exploratory, and regression testing
- Write and maintain automated UI and API tests on the shared test framework
- Own and prioritize the automation backlog; move routine regression into CI so releases are not blocked on manual passes
- Review product requirements and acceptance criteria with product and engineering, providing feedback before development starts
- Verify client-facing releases and run acceptance testing before they reach clients
- Communicate with stakeholders and third-party vendors about ongoing product issues
- Maintain QA documentation and reports, including release testing and escaped defects reports
