Collaborate with developers and product managers to understand requirements and integrate testing throughout the development lifecycle, supporting our "shift-left" quality strategy.
Identify, document, and track software defects to resolution.
Participate in peer reviews of test scripts to maintain code quality and best practices.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of our automation frameworks and QA processes.
Perform targeted manual testing as needed to validate new features and complex use cases.

Your Qualifications

2+ years of experience in a quality assurance or test automation role.
Hands-on experience with modern test automation frameworks, with a strong preference for Playwright.
Demonstrated experience in API testing using Postman and command-line runners like Newman.
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies.

Solid understanding of a programming language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
