• Defect Lifecycle: Document issues in Jira with clear, technical detail; collaborate with developers to verify fixes and close the loop on reported bugs.

Technical Readiness & Data Setup

• System Health Checks: Perform daily checks on our testing environments to ensure they are consistent and ready for the day’s work.

Product Advocacy

• Fast Feedback: Provide the TPM with immediate updates on test results to help make "Go/No-Go" release decisions.

• Automation Preparation: Participate in identifying manual scenarios that could benefit from automation and flag these for the team to prioritize.

• Experience: 0–2 years in a technical or analytical role (Testing, Support, or Product-adjacent roles).
• Technical Aptitude: * A "power-user" comfort level with complex software systems and admin tools.
• Familiarity with (or high interest in learning) Postman, SQL, and API basics.
• Exceptional organizational skills, with the ability to manage data across multiple platforms like Excel and Jira.

• Logical Problem-Solving: You can trace a bug back to its source and explain the "why" behind it.
• Analytical/Language Communication: Native-level proficiency in written and spoken English is required. You must be able to write clear, concise technical reports and communicate complex issues to the team in real-time.
