3. Environment setup and validation (2+ years): Proven ability to install builds, configure and validate test environments, troubleshoot tooling issues, and ensure systems are ready for testing and reporting.

Opportunity Overview:
This role sits at the intersection of program management, test automation, and quality engineering. You will help guide a major Angular front-end upgrade while defining how quality is measured, visualized, and communicated across engineering and leadership.

• Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks and quality measurement
• Experience with systems, operating systems, storage, or networking environments

• Strong communication skills and comfort working with offshore and cross-functional teams

What makes a candidate highly successful in this role:

• Comfortable balancing hands-on technical execution with program leadership
• Proactive in validating environments, tools, and test results
• Able to explain technical decisions clearly and precisely, without relying on buzzwords
