• Drive the strategy towards comprehensive automation coverage for features and releases.
• Work directly with product engineering teams to develop and maintain test tools, write and test product code, participate in design reviews to architect testable systems, and guide designs and code to enhance modularity and testability.
• Understand complex systems end-to-end and work across technologies and codebases; validate concepts and implement best-in-class solutions.
• Develop and maintain quality engineering processes that scale for external customers and internal teams to ensure a seamless experience for guests, hosts, and support agents.

A Typical Day / Responsibilities
