Equally important, you will partner with data engineering, data science, and analytics teams to build telemetry, logging, and tracing that complements test failures. You will apply generative AI, agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based tools responsibly to accelerate development, test authoring, analysis, documentation, and operational workflows while preserving deterministic test execution.
You will own and contribute to end-to-end Windows validation across the third-party ecosystem, including:
