• Perform functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, exploratory, and acceptance testing throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and communicate software defects clearly, partnering with engineers to investigate root causes and validate fixes.
• Build scalable automation approaches that improve test coverage, shorten feedback cycles, and reduce repetitive manual testing.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using industry-standard tooling such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
• Validate APIs, data integrations, and backend systems using appropriate testing strategies and tools.
• Collaborate with software engineers, product managers, designers, and client stakeholders to establish acceptance criteria and advocate for quality throughout the development process.
• Gain experience across multiple clients and industries, adapting testing strategies to different technical and business environments.
• Build trust with clients and internal teams through strong communication, problem-solving, attention to detail, and execution.

• Hands-on experience developing and maintaining automated tests using Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, or comparable tools and frameworks.
• Experience testing APIs and integrated systems and working with technologies such as REST APIs, SQL, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with at least one programming or scripting language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, or C#.
• Proven ability to identify risks, investigate defects, troubleshoot complex issues, and determine the appropriate balance between manual and automated testing.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to clearly communicate quality risks, defects, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to analyze complex systems and requirements and develop practical, effective approaches to ensuring software quality.

Requirements

• Include a short note about yourself, a summary of your work experience, and a link to any public profiles you actively maintain (e.g., GitHub, LinkedIn).
