• Ability to estimate testing effort, manage priorities, and adapt within fast-moving sprints

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a collaborative mindset

• Self-starter with a growth mindset who actively looks for ways to improve quality and processes

Principal Duties & Responsibilities:

• Ensure the quality of new and existing features through a mix of manual and automated testing

• Test assigned user stories within two-week sprints by validating functionality in lower and acceptance environments, including creating and managing test data

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test coverage, contributing to or evolving existing automation frameworks

• Execute and monitor regression test suites, investigate failures, and identify root causes related to code, data, or test logic

• Partner closely with Business Analysts and Product Owners to refine acceptance criteria and translate requirements into effective test coverage

• Create and maintain core test artifacts, including test plans, test cases, automation scripts, and execution results

• Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, and outcomes

• Participate actively in backlog refinement, sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives, clearly communicating risks and progress

• Advocate for quality best practices and contribute ideas that improve testing efficiency, automation effectiveness, and team delivery

• Support CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows (tools such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar are beneficial but not required)

• Take ownership of learning new systems and technologies, including Salesforce where applicable
