You will ensure the setup is developer-friendly and integrates seamlessly into the dev workflow - **Developer Experience (DX): Creating fixtures, mocks, and helpers that make it easy for developers to write and run tests locally - CI/CD Pipelines: Integrating quality gates into our build pipelines (GitLab CI) to ensure rapid feedback loops - Mentorship: guiding the dev team on testing best practices and writing testable code
