• Find new ways to test, including AI coding tools and agents, in order to shorten test cycles and lift product quality.
• Learn how enterprise customers use the product and in what environments, then base test plans on those real situations.
• Report quality status, risks and trends clearly to engineering and product leaders.

What you need

• 4+ years as the manager of a QA or test development team, with hiring and performance management among your duties.
• 6+ years of practical test design, manual and automated.
• Practical use of AI coding tools and agents, such as Claude Code or Cursor, for writing, debugging and maintaining test code.
