You will collaborate closely with product owners, engineers, designers, architects, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure high-quality releases for a mission‑critical platform.

· Lead small QA pods when required, ensuring clarity of work, defect prioritization, and stakeholder alignment.
· Manage defect lifecycle using tools like JIRA and X-Ray, ensuring accurate reporting and timely resolution.
· Ensure adherence to QA governance standards, including test coverage, documentation, and compliance processes.
· Conduct regular QA housekeeping activities—test data management, environment readiness, and audit compliance.
· Apply a proactive mindset in identifying risks, proposing mitigation plans, and improving testing processes.
· Actively participate in Agile ceremonies, product design reviews, and sprint planning sessions.
· Leverage observability tools, logs, and test automation to enhance product quality and reduce defects.
