•    Contribute to AI-enabled quality engineering practices.

5. Performance, Reliability & Security Testing
•    Execute: 
o    Performance and load testing for serverless workloads
o    Resilience and failure scenario testing (event loss, retries, scaling)
•    Validate: 
o    Security and access controls (IAM roles, authentication flows)
o    Data integrity and system reliability

7. Collaboration & Communication
•    Work closely with: 
o    Developers, Tech Leads, and Architects
o    Customer stakeholders (as needed for validation and UAT)
•    Participate in: 
o    Design discussions
