Pick up the existing automation framework, extend it to under-covered surfaces, and harden it for a higher-velocity merge environment
Push automated coverage on critical paths (policy gates, audit trail, RBAC, lineage, data connectors) toward 100%, and hold the line as merge velocity climbs
Drive customer-reported defects on compliance-critical surfaces toward zero
Build an LLM-assisted test pipeline that matches AI-accelerated development with AI-accelerated testing
Make quality posture visible to leadership through a living risk and coverage map both teams own
Requirements
Owned a complex automation platform: end-to-end frameworks, CI systems, multi-stage automation
Kubernetes and cloud-native fluency at scale (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP)
Shipped compliance-critical software where audit trail, RBAC, or governance correctness affected customer audits (pharma, finance, govtech, healthtech, MLOps)
Senior-level influence across multiple teams without direct authority
