- 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.
Required 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.
Preferred Qualifications
