• Validate request/response payloads, status codes, error handling, authentication, and data consistency.
• Perform basic database validation using SQL where required.
• Validate integrations with third-party systems, payment platforms, CRM systems, APIs, and other downstream/upstream applications as applicable.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects using tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps.
• Work closely with developers to reproduce defects, provide clear evidence, and support root-cause analysis.
• Perform defect verification and regression testing after fixes.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Support UAT, release validation, production verification, and post-release testing.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8+ Experience in Software QA / Digital QA, depending on seniority.
• Strong hands-on experience in manual testing of web and/or mobile applications.
• Strong understanding of SDLC, STLC, QA methodologies, and Agile/Scrum.
• Strong experience creating and executing detailed test scenarios and test cases.
• Experience with end-to-end and customer journey testing.
• Good experience with functional, regression, integration, system, exploratory, and negative testing.
• Experience testing mobile applications on iOS and/or Android.
• Working knowledge of API testing, preferably using Postman or similar tools.
• Basic-to-intermediate knowledge of SQL/database validation.
• Experience working with defect management and test management tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail, Zephyr, or equivalent.
