  • Investigate test failures, triage bugs, and work with development teams to drive issues to resolution
  • Collaborate with codec developer teams to understand new features and translate requirements into test plans and automated coverage
  • Monitor test results and CI dashboards, proactively flagging quality risks and coverage gaps
  • Contribute to test infrastructure improvements, including tooling, reporting, and scalability of the automation framework
