• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks for Commerce's Salesforce org — covering Apex unit tests, UI automation, API testing, and end-to-end regression suites. • Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and SFDX-based deployment workflows, ensuring quality gates are enforced on every deployment to production. • Define and own test strategy across the SDLC — from story acceptance criteria and test plan authorship through execution, defect triage, and sign-off. • Investigate defects systematically: reproduce, isolate, categorize by impact, and produce minimum viable test cases that prevent recurrence. • Identify test coverage gaps across Apex classes, flows, integrations, and UI — and close them proactively rather than reactively. • Build and maintain test data management strategies that support reliable, repeatable test execution across sandbox environments. • Partner with developers on code reviews with a quality lens — flagging testability concerns, missing coverage, and brittle patterns before they reach production. • Own and evolve the team's quality dashboard, surfacing coverage metrics, defect trends, error rates, and deployment health to the broader team. • Participate in agile ceremonies, contribute to story refinement, and advocate for acceptance criteria that are specific enough to test. • Champion a culture of quality — not as a gate at the end of the process, but as a shared responsibility built into every stage of delivery.
