• Lead a squad of SDETs/QA engineers—capacity planning, mentoring, and upskilling on advanced automation topics.
• Orchestrate defect triage, root‑cause analysis, and risk‑based test planning; own release readiness and rollback validation.
• Drive shift‑left practices (contract testing, API first, early data checks) and shift‑right observability (synthetic monitoring, production validation dashboards).

• Solid grasp of SQL and data validation; familiarity with logs/metrics (Splunk/Sumo/Grafana) for test diagnostics.

• Experience with OSAT‑style regression accelerators or similar enterprise frameworks; comfortable with shift‑left/shift‑right test strategies.
• Performance testing (JMeter/Load Runner).
