• Strong test automation experience using frameworks and tools such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright, combined with proficiency in RESTful API testing and SQL for data validation, test data management, and backend testing.
• Experience leading UAT and coordinating testing activities, risks, and outcomes with business and technical stakeholders.
• Solid understanding of cloud-based systems, preferably Microsoft Azure, and experience with delivery and test management platforms such as Jira or Azure DevOps.
