• Design and execute manual test plans and test cases based on functional and non-functional requirements, in addition to developing and maintaining automated test suites.
• Validate software functionality, performance, and scalability through a balanced combination of manual and automated testing approaches.
• Analyze test results to identify defects and regressions, and drive them to closure.
• Raise and track Jira tickets to closure. Promote builds to UAT, Staging and ultimately production.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including product, business, and other non-technical stakeholders — to understand project requirements, business context, and provide input on testability and quality.

• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and other team activities to ensure the overall quality of our software solutions.
• Investigate and troubleshoot issues reported by customers or identified during testing, and work with the development team to implement solutions.
• Stay updated with industry trends and best practices in software testing and quality assurance, and advocate for their adoption within the organization.

• Experience in API test automation using tools such as Pytest, REST Assured, Postman/Newman.
• Familiarity with containerization and cloud environments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP) as they relate to test execution and environments.
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
• Exposure to performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6, Gatling) and/or contract testing is a plus.
• Solid understanding of software development methodologies (e.g., Agile, Scrum) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong domain understanding, with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders beyond the tech team (product, business, operations).
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with keen attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.
• Proven ability to prioritize tasks and manage time effectively in a fast-paced environment.
