Create service mocks, test data frameworks, and contract tests for APIs and services
Partner with engineers to ensure systems are designed for testability from the beginning
Establish and enforce release readiness criteria and quality gates
Build automated validation into CI pipelines to improve deployment confidence and release frequency
Build automated tests that validate security-first design, verify privacy and sensitive data handling, and include adversarial and abuse test cases
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand product requirements, identify test scenarios, and ensure adequate test coverage
Perform both manual and automated testing, as necessary, to ensure the highest quality of BlackCloak solutions

Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
