A QA Owner: 7+ years of QA engineering experience, (with at least 3 years in a senior or lead capacity Preferred) where you shaped process and standards not just executed them. You don't wait to be told where the risk is. You find it.
Team Builder: You have experience leading and growing QA teams. You know how to hire for technical excellence, set up engineers to own domains independently, and build accountability without micromanagement.
AI-Native Tester: You have hands-on experience testing LLM-powered applications you understand prompt sensitivity, output variance, and how to build eval pipelines that catch regressions across model updates.
Automation-First: You write test code. Python is your primary tool. You have built and maintained CI/CD-integrated test suites and you don't wait for someone to file a bug to find one.
Integration Expert: You are comfortable testing complex API chains, async/streaming responses, and multi-service workflows. Document processing pipelines and knowledge graph outputs don't intimidate you.
0-to-1 Mindset: You have built a QA function from the ground up in an early-stage environment. You know when to move fast and when to go deep, and you can make that call without being told.
Enterprise Empathy: You understand that your end users are not developers. You test for confusion and trust failure, not just broken functionality.
