• Backend & Integration Testing: Perform API, database (SQL queries), and system-to-system integration testing to ensure data accuracy and workflow reliability across core platforms.

• Agile Delivery: Partner with Product Owners and Developers in refinement sessions to convert acceptance criteria into automated test cases. Execute functional and regression testing within Scrum sprints.

• Quality Maintenance: Maintain the Git-based automation repository, troubleshoot pipeline failures, and write regression tests for customer-reported defects.

Qualifications

• Required:

• 3+ years of professional software testing and automation experience.

• Hands-on proficiency in Python and automated testing frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, PyTest, or similar).

• Strong experience testing APIs (REST), microservices, and databases using SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL).

• Working knowledge of Git, version control, and Agile/Scrum workflows.

• Preferred:

• Experience setting up or maintaining CI/CD automated test runs (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions).

• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS).

• Interest or experience using AI development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) for test script generation or test planning.

• Bachelor's degree in CS, IT, or equivalent practical experience.
