- Integrate automated testing into development workflows to ensure consistent quality across releases.
- Participate in design and code reviews ensuring best practices in performance, maintainability, and testability.
- Develop comprehensive test strategies covering functional, regression, integration, and performance aspects.
- Mentor other engineers on the team in how to build, maintain, and evolve great AI powered software solutions.
- Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement by sharing best practices in engineering and quality.
