Responsibilities

• Monitor our products over time to make sure new and changing applications, user behavior, and our own hardware do not cause any unanticipated regressions.
• Validate that new software releases enhance customer experiences, ensuring value-added features remain within allocated budgets and do not compromise performance.
• Optimize the utilization of metrics to enhance data-motivated decision-making.
