- Serve as the primary QA contact within assigned program, leading lab validation, deployment readiness, issue triage, and stakeholder alignment across internal and customer teams.

- Troubleshoot and diagnose complex issues across software, configuration, integration, data, hardware, and environments using logs, APIs, databases, system configurations, and POS device behavior.
- Validate customer-reported issues and ensure defects are actionable by confirming reproducibility, expected behavior, configuration context, logs, test evidence, and business impact before Development engagement.
- Establish and maintain parity between customer and internal lab environments, including POS devices and system configurations.
- Define and uphold QA standards for test coverage, defect quality, evidence capture, lab readiness, release readiness, RCA, and customer acceptance.
- Create and review test plans, execution guidance, readiness assessments, and handoff packages to enable consistent execution across distributed QA teams.
- Drive defect prevention, RCA, and continuous quality improvements based on defect trends, test evidence, and customer feedback.
- Communicate test progress, risks, issues, and readiness clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

- 8+ years of software testing experience, including 5+ years in POS or enterprise transaction systems.
- Extensive customer-facing experience supporting testing, UAT, deployments, upgrades, issue triage, and production readiness.
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to diagnose complex issues across software, configuration, integration, hardware, data, and environments.
- Experience with SQL, REST APIs, log analysis, distributed systems, and system configuration analysis.
- Proven ability to lead QA activities across cross-functional and distributed teams without direct authority.
- Experience creating test strategies, readiness criteria, execution plans, and reusable QA artifacts.
- Strong judgment in distinguishing product defects from configuration, integration, environment, data, workflow, hardware, or expected behavior issues.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to influence decisions in complex situations.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Knowledge of POS peripherals, payment processing, loyalty, promotions, retail workflows, and enterprise store operations.
