Human Resources
Responsibilities
Apply risk-based thinking to decide what should be tested, how, and at what level (unit, integration, domain E2E, or QE-owned cross-team E2E)
Help define and evolve quality standards and guardrails that scale across teams without becoming burdensome
Identify systemic quality risks and recommend pragmatic improvements in test strategy, architecture, and release practices
Build and maintain reliable automated tests across UI, API, and integration layers
Own and maintain QE-managed E2E and regression suites that span multiple product surfaces or represent shared risk
Enable product engineers to write and maintain domain-level tests by providing patterns, helpers, examples, and guidance
Continuously improve test stability, signal quality, and execution speed
Reduce friction for engineers writing tests by improving test utilities, data setup, environment reliability, and local workflows
Partner with engineering teams to help them adopt shared testing frameworks and best practices
Act as a consultant and collaborator—helping teams make good quality tradeoffs rather than enforcing rigid rules
Partner early with Product and Engineering during design and refinement to ensure testability is built in from the start
Collaborate closely with Manual QA to align exploratory testing, release validation, and automation coverage
Support predictable delivery by surfacing quality risks early and proposing clear mitigation options
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with actionable, trustworthy results
Help define release readiness signals, smoke tests, and targeted regression coverage
Use incident data, production issues, and customer feedback to refine test coverage and ownership over time
Review automation code and help set quality and maintainability standards
Mentor mid-level and nearshore QEs through pairing, reviews, and informal coaching
Model strong judgment, clear communication, and a pragmatic approach to quality
