• Familiarity with performance testing tools like k6 or JMeter to identify system bottlenecks.

Nice-to-Have:

• Knowledge of Docker for containerized testing environments.
• Experience with Visual Regression testing tools (Percy, Applitools).
• Familiarity with Cloud Testing platforms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm).
