About Adobe

## Description

* Own the end-to-end quality strategy for a new AI-first web application, spanning the prompt and agent layer, the in-browser experience, and the generated output.
 * Compose, build, and maintain modern web test automation (Playwright / Cypress, TypeScript/JavaScript) and the underlying infrastructure that keeps it fast, deterministic, and developer-friendly.
 * Stand up evaluation harnesses for automated workflows: golden prompt suites, regression baselines, model/version comparisons, hallucination and safety checks, and human-in-the-loop review pipelines.
 * Ensure comprehensive quality for a real-time web product - performance, resilience, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser/cross-device coverage.
 * Embed quality into CI/CD: build release gates that catch real regressions, reduce flake, and turn production telemetry into pre-submit signal.
 * Work closely with engineering, product, and design to build testability into the process early. Guide engineers on test strategy, automation patterns, and adopting a shift-left outlook.
