What Success Looks Like Releases go out

predictably and confidently Automation coverage grows sprint after sprint Agent failures are caught

before production Quality becomes a

shared responsibility , led by you Manual testing effort reduces as automation and agent critics mature

Why This Role Is Special Owns release sign-off Drives automation-first quality Shapes how agentic AI is tested Works closely with Product & CTO Leads innovation in AI testing Not a test executor role Not a checkbox QA position
