This role combines ownership of critical quality surfaces with enablement of product engineers and Manual QA emphasizing risk-based decisions over rigid rules. While product teams are expected to own quality within their domains the QE team continues to own and maintain cross-cutting end-to-end (E2E) and regression workflows that span multiple product areas or represent systemic risk.
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).
