• Validate application behavior across supported browsers, devices, operating systems, and platforms.  
• Monitor for issues that could prevent members from successfully completing enrollment and promptly document findings with sufficient detail for investigation and resolution.  
• Immediately escalate enrollment-blocking defects and other critical production-impacting issues to technology leadership and appropriate stakeholders to support rapid response and remediation.  
• Partner with engineering, product, and operations teams during critical releases to help ensure uninterrupted enrollment availability and a seamless member experience.  
• Support release validation and post-release verification activities.  
• Contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes, testing standards, and team best practices.
