- Stay up to date with QA practice and tools, contributing to the continuous improvement of the QA processes across the team.
- Participate in code reviews and product design discussions to ensure testability is considered from the start.
Requirements
- At least 5+ years' experience in software quality assurance, particularly in testing multi-platform desktop applications and integrated tools.
- Strong knowledge of test automation frameworks (eg. Selenium, Cypress, Playwright) and hands-on experience writing test scripts in any of those tools.
- Proven experience with bug tracking and version control systems like JIRA and Git in a cross-functional team collaboration.
- Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail in identifying defects and performance bottlenecks.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, capable of working across time zones and in a remote-first environment.
