Preferred candidate profile

• Experience with Squish or similar UI automation tools.
• Strong scripting/programming skills, preferably Python.
• Experience designing, maintaining, or improving automation frameworks.
• Experience with Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD, and GitLab/Git workflows including branching, merge requests, and code reviews.
• Interest or experience in AI‑assisted testing, such as test generation, script maintenance support, log/failure analysis, defect analysis, or automation productivity tools.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across automation, test data, environment, and pipeline issues.
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, regression testing, and quality practices.
• Agile/Scrum experience.
