Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-6 years of professional experience in software quality engineering, with at least two years focused on test automation.
• Proficiency in at least one object-oriented or scripting language used for automation, such as Java, JavaScript or TypeScript, Python, or C#.

• Collaborate with product owners and business analysts to translate acceptance criteria into clear, traceable test scenarios.
• Triage failing tests, isolate root causes, and distinguish product defects from test instability or environment issues.
• Contribute to performance, accessibility, and security testing efforts in partnership with specialist teams.
• Define and report quality metrics such as coverage, defect escape rate, and pipeline stability to both technical teams and client leadership.
