- Support security and compliance requirements such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 through appropriate testing evidence.
Technical Quality & Delivery
- Ensure software is secure, scalable, reliable, and production-ready.
- Establish automated quality checks throughout the development lifecycle.
- Collaborate with developers to identify defects early.
- Review testing approaches and improve overall engineering quality.
- Support both cloud and on-premise deployments.
