. Collaborate Shift‑Left with developers: write automation early, review acceptance criteria, propose testability improvements.

. Keep a squad regression checklist; nominate cases to the shared/domain regression as per organization process standards

Track squad quality signals (coverage, pass/fail, leakage, flakiness); contribute to dashboards; lead squad defect triage and RCA with devs. Sprint-Level Quality Ownership

. Own all QA activities for assigned user stories, ensuring complete functional and integration coverage.

· Create and maintain sprint‑level test plans aligned with acceptance criteria and integration needs.

· Actively participate in refinement to clarify acceptance criteria and ensure testability (Shift‑Left).

· Maintain a squad‑level regression checklist; propose candidates for broader regression to the QA Product Lead.

. Track and report quality signals: coverage, execution rate, defect leakage, automation stability.

. Provide quality insights to QA Product Lead and Domain Engineering Manager for dashboards and governance.

. Recommend process or tooling improvements while ensuring alignment with organizational standards.

. Expand regression coverage by adding checks for fixed defects and recommending broader regression candidates.

Collaboration

. Fully embedded in one or more squads, collaborating daily with developers, PO, and UX/UI.

. Participate in all Agile ceremonies, driving quality‑focused conversations.

. Coach junior testers on test design, exploratory testing, and story readiness.

. Coordinate with other squads QA engineers when stories span multiple domains or integration points.

Limited Beta / Pre‑Release Support

. Escalate broader beta campaign needs to QA Prod Lead to avoid scope overlap with platform‑level QA.

Continuous Improvement

. Identify bottlenecks in QA processes and propose actionable improvements.
