• Validate shared engine systems and platform-level technology used across multiple teams.

• Validate and maintain compatibility for internal and third-party plugins across engine versions and platforms.

• Create and maintain cross-project test coverage, including golden path and reusable test suites.

• Work with game teams to test and validate client backend integrations, including contract, resilience, and configuration handling.

• Investigate and debug engine-level issues, including crashes, performance regressions, and integration failures.

• Identify opportunities to improve diagnostics and observability, including logging, metrics, and automated regression detection.

• Define and evangelize QA standards, best practices, and testing strategies across teams.
