To ensure high-quality software releases through targeted manual testing, thorough defect analysis, browser-level diagnostics, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

• In‑depth understanding of the SDLC and hands‑on experience in Agile development environments.

• Strong web diagnostic capabilities, specifically using browser DevTools (Console, Network, Elements) to isolate backend vs. frontend issues.

• Exceptional analytical and problem‑solving skills with a focus on root‑cause identification.

• Proven ability to work collaboratively and autonomously in a remote, multi‑disciplinary team environment.

• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.

Technical Skills & Tooling

• Practical familiarity with web applications built on modern front‑end frameworks (such as Angular v17).

• Hands‑on experience with project and issue tracking systems (Jira) and documentation tools (Confluence).

• Experience using test management solutions (e.g., TestRail) and virtual browser testing platforms (e.g., BrowserStack).

• Working knowledge of SQL or Azure SQL databases for data verification and query execution.

• Awareness of CI/CD concepts (e.g., Azure DevOps) and enthusiasm for adopting automated testing and AI‑assisted QA capabilities over time.

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

• Prior experience in SaaS, payroll, or complex financial workflow platforms.
