Design and execute test plans, test cases and exploratory testing scenarios for web applications and APIs.
Perform functional, regression and end-to-end testing.
Review product requirements, identify gaps and challenge assumptions.
Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Developers throughout the development lifecycle.
Build and maintain automated regression tests for key user flows.
Validate data accuracy, system behavior and product functionality.
Identify, document and track defects through resolution.
Investigate production issues and verify bug fixes.

What You Should Have for the Role:

3+ years of experience in Software QA.
Experience testing SaaS web applications and REST APIs.
Hands-on experience with API testing tools such as Postman.
Experience with test automation tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or similar.
Familiarity with Python, JavaScript or another scripting language.
