- Experience overseeing performance, load or scalability testing, and working with Engineering on service reliability and recovery testing.
- Working knowledge of test environments, cloud-hosted services, build and release pipelines, and deployment validation.
- Strong grounding in risk-based testing, defect management and QA tooling such as Jira, test management systems and reporting dashboards.
- Technical judgement to review testing and automation approaches, challenge assumptions and communicate effectively with engineers.
- Demonstrated ability to manage people, capacity, priorities and costs, with strong communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills.
- Experience supporting PC and Mobile releases and live-operation workflows, including patch validation, incident response and ongoing quality monitoring.
