• Test core functionality, error handling, and expected service behaviour
• Collaborate early with engineers to understand requirements and edge cases
• Support automated testing in CI/CD pipelines
• Help identify quality risks and improve test coverage
• Contribute to incident reviews by strengthening tests to prevent repeat issues
• Learn and apply modern quality engineering practices in a platform environment

Requirements:

• Experience in software testing or quality engineering (typically 2–4 years, or equivalent practical experience)
• Experience with test automation, especially for APIs or backend services
• Experience of Performance testing
