• 2+ years of experience with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, AMQ, WMQ).
• Strong experience with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, HP ALM).
• Proficiency in writing and executing complex SQL queries.
• Experience with performance testing tools and analyzing performance test results.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and collaboration with DevSecOps teams.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Understanding of accessibility and security testing practices.
• Exposure to Gen AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) and their application in quality engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with mobile test automation.
• Background in leading cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments.
• Experience with large-scale system software testing strategies and automation infrastructure.
• Familiarity with accessibility and security compliance testing.
• Lifelong Learner – Continuously seeks to improve technical and non-technical skills.
