• Foster a culture of quality by collaborating closely with engineering, product, and design teams to shift testing left and embed QA thinking early in the development lifecycle
• Establish and maintain clear quality metrics (e.g. , escaped defects, root cause analysis, time-to-fix) and provide regular reporting to engineering and executive leadership
• Ensure test coverage meets standards across critical workflows, and lead initiatives to reduce regressions and escaped defects
• Encourage exploratory testing amongst the organization
• Own developing appropriate test suites across Limble’s web and mobile applications
• Continuously improve our QA processes, including selection of tools, integration into CI/CD pipelines, and test environment management
