• Perform manual testing and carry out non-functional testing such as performance testing, resilience testing, security testing.
• Actively participate in sprint planning and other Agile ceremonies, providing insights and guidance into quality and testing progress.
• Research new technologies available and its proper application; make suggestions/contributions for the improvement of software testing/quality/delivery.

About you:
