• Functional & Regression Testing: Perform functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing to ensure comprehensive test coverage.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track defects using industry-standard tools, ensuring timely resolution with development teams.
• Test Planning & Documentation: Establish and maintain detailed test plans, test cases, and test scripts for existing and new features.
• Root Cause Analysis: Conduct thorough root cause analysis on defects and advocate for preventive measures during early development stages.
• Shift-Left Testing Approach: Promote shift-left testing by embedding quality assurance earlier in the software development lifecycle.
• QA Process Improvement: Define and improve QA best practices, processes, and documentation to enhance team efficiency and effectiveness.
• Mentorship & Leadership: Provide mentorship and guidance to junior QA engineers, sharing best practices and technical insights.
• Test Automation Collaboration: Work closely with automation engineers to enhance automated test coverage and reduce manual efforts.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in functional software testing within an Agile environment, with a strong focus on backend and API validation.
• Deep understanding of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), test case design, and defect tracking in complex enterprise environments.
• Proven ability to analyze business and technical requirements, translating them into backend/API test strategies, and following stories from analysis through implementation.
• Hands-on experience testing APIs and backend services (REST, JSON) using tools such as Postman.
• SQL proficiency for data validation and integrity checks in relational databases (e.g., MySQL).

• Strong verbal and written communication skills in advanced English, with proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional technical teams.

• Knowledge of performance and load testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling) is a plus.
