Requirements

• 4+ years of experience as a Manual QA, at a senior level
• Some hands-on experience with QA automation: writing or maintaining automated tests for UI or API scenarios
• An automation-oriented mindset: comfort with programming concepts and logical problem-solving
• 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)
