Own the overall quality strategy for the distributed database platform, including test architecture, coverage models, and release gates.
Design comprehensive testing for replication, sharding, consistency, transactions, and cross-datacenter replication.
Establish reliable coverage for critical database operations early in the development lifecycle.

Distributed Systems and Fault-Injection Testing:

Validate cluster correctness under node failures, network partitions, clock skew, and disk-full scenarios.
Reproduce defects at source-code level and provide minimal reproducible test cases.
Identify failure scenarios that conventional positive testing cannot cover.

Test Automation and AI Integration:

Build and maintain scalable test frameworks using Python, pytest, and CI/CD environments.
Lead integration of AI agents into testing frameworks for test generation and failure triage.
Develop evaluation frameworks to measure reliability of AI-generated outputs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Participate in feature reviews and define testability requirements before implementation.
Drive debugging across QE, client, and server teams and mentor senior QEs and SDETs.
Convert incidents into permanent regression tests and monitoring checks.
