Understanding of HTTP, HTML, AJAX, JSON, REST APIs, and client-server architecture.
Basic knowledge of SQL.
Strong written and spoken English (interviews are conducted in English).
Ability to freely communicate in Russian or Ukrainian.

Responsibilities

UI and API testing of complex integrated web applications.
Developing and refining test plans.
Writing and maintaining automated tests, primarily using Cypress.
Close collaboration with developers in an Agile environment.
Tracking and managing test cases using JIRA, TestRail, and Qmetry.
Identifying areas where manual testing processes can be automated for reliability and maintainability.
