• Perform functional testing across web and/or mobile applications, identifying defects, usability issues, edge cases, and potential quality risks.
• Execute regression testing to validate existing functionality and ensure new changes do not negatively impact the product.
• Perform exploratory testing to identify unexpected behaviors and gaps that may not be covered by predefined test cases.
• Perform basic test automation activities and contribute to automated regression coverage as needed.
• Work with and maintain existing automated tests using tools such as Appium and Playwright.
• Demonstrate a working understanding of automation concepts, test execution, and troubleshooting without requiring deep automation framework development experience.
• Support API testing and validation, including verifying responses, data integrity, authentication, error handling, and negative scenarios.
• Analyze test failures, investigate defects, review logs and application behavior, and help identify whether issues are related to the application, test automation, or environment.
• Identify quality risks, edge cases, and test coverage gaps, and proactively recommend improvements.
• Collaborate closely with developers, product teams, and other stakeholders to clarify requirements, investigate defects, communicate testing results, and drive issues toward resolution.
• Apply AI-powered tools and techniques to support QA activities, such as test case generation, test documentation, test/code review, and testing optimization.
• Stay current with QA practices, testing tools, automation technologies, and emerging AI capabilities relevant to software testing.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to QA best practices, testing strategies, and defect prevention.
• Provide clear and actionable feedback regarding product quality, test results, defects, and potential risks.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in QA/software testing, with strong hands-on experience in manual testing.
