Responsibilities

Own the testing of projects that span two or more teams, from working out what needs to be verified and where, through to getting it done.
Build the test data and environment setup these projects need as reusable tooling that other engineers can run themselves, rather than as manual steps.
Identify quality risks that fall between teams, and make sure they're covered.
Drive the migration from our legacy end-to-end suite to per-domain frameworks, making the move cheap enough that teams can migrate their own tests.
Work with a small group of principal quality engineers who jointly own org-level quality initiatives, prioritised together with the engineering directors.
Write, review, and maintain test code and test framework code.
Contribute to shared test tooling, including our test data utility and shared test libraries.
Design and implement tests with teams that don't have a dedicated quality engineer.
Debug flaky and failing tests to root cause.
Review specifications against implementations and tests, and catch what a passing suite misses.
Apply secure-by-design principles and data privacy standards.
Provide a real-time 'Risk Radar' to Directors, focusing on release confidence rather than bug counts.
Architect and maintain the Automation Frameworks and AI Agents that enable developers to generate test suites.
