  • Review CI/CD pipelines and help bring consistency across teams

  • Track quality assurance metrics, like defect densities and open defect counts

  • Analyze the causes of non-conforming software and train users to implement solutions

  • Maintain relevant knowledge about new testing tools and test strategies

We're looking for
