• Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria, functional specifications, and supporting test cases.

• Hands‑on experience using AI tools to develop and refine requirements, documentation and user stories.
• Proficiency with Jira and Confluence, or comparable software development management and collaboration platforms.
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum methodologies and a solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Experience creating process flows and technical diagrams using Lucidchart, Mermaid, or similar platforms.
• Working knowledge of REST APIs, JSON, and system integrations, with the ability to understand and document technical requirements.
