• Write SQL queries to validate data integrity, transformations, and business logic in databases

• Run tests across browsers, platforms, and environments (including headless and parallel execution)

• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines and monitor execution quality

• Track defects in JIRA with clear reproduction steps and impact analysis

• Work closely with developers on code reviews and early testing (Shift-Left approach)

• Use AI tools to speed up test generation, analyze failure patterns, review code, and quickly find information in documentation and past test runs

• Maintain test documentation, dashboards, and quality metrics

What you need:

Basic Skills:

• Solid grasp of testing fundamentals - STLC, test design techniques, and best practices

• Hands-on experience testing web apps, SaaS platforms, and APIs (functional, regression, integration, exploratory)

• Analyze test failures, identify root causes, and collaborate with developers to resolve defects quickly

• Champion Shift-Left practices by participating in requirement reviews, API contract validation, and early test planning

• Maintain CI/CD pipeline stability by monitoring build health, investigating flaky tests, and optimizing execution time

• Contribute to framework improvements including reusable utilities, enhanced reporting, and better test data management

• Participate in Agile ceremonies - provide accurate estimates, identify quality risks, and share testing insights during retrospectives

• Use AI-powered tools and RAG approaches to extract knowledge from technical docs, speed up code reviews, and recognize defect patterns

• Stay current with testing tools and practices, continuously improving test coverage and automation maturity

Good to Have:

• BDD frameworks (Cucumber/Gherkin)
