    Grafana/Prometheus dashboards
    .
  • Drive
    shift-left testing
    —ensuring issues are caught early in the development cycle.

4. Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Partner with backend and frontend engineers to define
    acceptance criteria
    and
    test strategies
    for rapid feature rollouts.
  • Mentor junior QA and SDET engineers in framework design and best practices.

    is a plus.
  • Strong communication and debugging skills with a bias toward rapid delivery.

Nice to Have

    TypeScript
    or

    testing frameworks.
