- Stay up to date with latest trends, tools and best practices in software testing, including advancements in automated testing frameworks and methodologies
- Contributing improvements to internal processes, understanding when time should be invested in automation
- Integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines, contributing to the reliability and efficiency of software releases.
- Perform meticulous bug tracking and reporting, delivering thorough documentation and fostering clear, proactive communication with developers to accelerate issue resolution.
Requirements
- Multiple years of software testing experience with a focus on automation across web, and API domains.
- Proven mastery of automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent, with hands-on scripting in Typescript, JavaScript, or C#.
- Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Cypress, Playwright) and scripting languages (e.g., Typescript, Javascript).
- Experience with performance testing (e.g., JMeter, Grafana K6) and API testing tools (e.g., Postman).
- Experience in build automation and CI/CD pipeline implementation and maintenance (GitHub Actions, or similar).
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, agile environment.
- Demonstrated leadership in driving QA initiatives and mentoring teams to success.
- Experience with version control systems, preferably Git.
