• Strong understanding of end-to-end testing, regression testing, functional testing, integration testing, and cross-browser testing
• Experience building and maintaining automated test suites to reduce repetitive manual testing and improve release confidence
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools

• Ability to work closely with software engineers, product owners, and technical stakeholders in Agile environments
• Solid understanding of the software development life cycle and modern product release processes
• Ability to identify quality risks, test coverage gaps, and automation opportunities across critical workflows
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• In-depth knowledge of operating systems such as Windows or MacOS
