Quality Engineer image
  • Aj Wilson's profile image
In Agile teams, quality is part of everyday work rather than a separate step. The team shapes acceptance criteria, tests early, and adapts when something is not meeting expectations. The Quality Engineer helps turn broad quality goals into practical activities that fit the team’s cadence.
