• Understanding of authentication, authorization, application security, and secure testing practices preferred.
• Experience analyzing requirements and identifying risks, gaps, dependencies, and testability concerns preferred.
• Familiarity with accessibility, security, performance, observability, or operational-readiness testing preferred.
• Experience testing AI-enabled applications, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, or AI-generated outputs preferred.

Responsibilities

• Develop quality strategies for applications, APIs, integrations, data flows, and user experiences.
• Analyze requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical designs to identify risks, gaps, dependencies, and testability concerns.
• Create and maintain automated tests for web applications, APIs, integrations, and data validation.
• Develop functional, integration, regression, smoke, exploratory, end-to-end, and performance tests as appropriate.
• Automate web application testing using Playwright or comparable testing frameworks.
• Validate REST APIs, authentication, authorization, workflows, data exchanges, and system integrations.
• Verify application data and processing results at the user interface, API, and database levels.
• Apply test-design techniques such as boundary-value analysis, equivalence partitioning, decision tables, state transitions, and pairwise testing.
• Manage test data and test environments needed to support reliable and repeatable validation.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and support quality gates for pull requests and deployments.
• Investigate test failures, facilitate defect triage, identify root causes, and collaborate with engineers to resolve issues.
• Verify software fixes and perform regression testing to prevent recurring defects.
• Evaluate accessibility, security, performance, observability, and operational readiness throughout development.
• Test AI-enabled and agentic capabilities for accuracy, consistency, relevance, safety, explainability, and appropriate behavior.
