and operations teams to ensure quality is built into the product lifecycle.
• Understand stakeholder expectations and communicate quality status, release risks, trade-offs, dependencies, and blockers clearly.

• Champion best QA practices across automation, test coverage, regression discipline, test data management, and defect prevention.
• Build and improve automation coverage across critical business flows, APIs, UI journeys, integrations, and regression suites.
• Analyze production defects, escaped issues, customer impact, and operational gaps to continuously improve test coverage and release confidence.
• Bring structure to ambiguous requirements by identifying risks, edge cases, assumptions, and validation needs.
• Ensure critical trading workflows are tested for correctness, reliabili
