• Perform manual and automated testing on web and mobile products

• Design, execute, and maintain clear, lean, and reusable test cases

• Work with Testiny test management tool

• Use AI tools for requirements analysis, test case generation, coverage estimation, and Claude Code for test automation support

• Ensure test cases remain up‑to‑date and aligned with product changes

• Apply solid QA fundamentals such as regression vs. smoke testing, and exploratory techniques

• Follow the full defect lifecycle and correctly assess severity and priority

• Write precise, reproducible defect reports

• Support alignment between development and QA workstreams

• Collaborate closely with automation engineers and tools and with developers on scope, acceptance criteria, and release readiness

• Identify what should be automated versus what should remain manual

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, refinement, daily stand‑ups, and acceptance criteria validation

• Conduct mobile testing on real devices and emulators as needed

• Support API testing using Postman, with opportunities to grow into automated API testing

• Review automated test results and provide actionable feedback

• Strong manual testing experience

• Web and mobile-first products (responsive behavior, device fragmentation, OS/browser differences)

• Device emulators, debugging on real devices, mobile-specific edge cases

• CI/CD awareness and integration

• Understanding of how Playwright tests fit into pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)

• Exposure to scheduled or triggered test runs, artifact handling, and failure triage

• Broader automation tooling exposure

• Prior experience with Testim or similar codeless/hybrid tools is a plus

• Ability to bridge different automation approaches across a mixed-tool environment

• API tooling familiarity

• Postman or Insomnia for ad-hoc verification — not a requirement, but valued

• TypeScript/JavaScript depth beyond test automation

• General scripting comfort, understanding of async patterns, types, modules

Soft skills
