- Cares about product quality
This role fits you well.

- Advocate for quality across the SDLC
What Makes You a Strong Fit

- You take ownership of product quality

- Collaborate with developers on fixes
- Validate builds and regression results
- Report quality metrics and risks
In short
You ensure nothing broken reaches production .
