Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience: 8–10+ years in the Quality Assurance discipline, with a proven track record in fast-moving, growth-minded startups. You have successfully navigated the transition from early-stage builds to scaled production environments.
AI & Efficiency: Proactive expertise in leveraging Generative AI and LLM tools to augment manual testing. This includes using AI for:
- Synthesizing complex product requirements into comprehensive test cases.

Data Skills: Expert-level proficiency in SQL for deep data validation and backend integrity testing.
Methodology: Strong understanding of black-box and white-box testing, as well as non-functional, performance, accessibility and security testing principles.
Analytical Mindset: Meticulous and detail-oriented approach with the ability to solve complex problems independently. You don’t just find bugs; you perform root cause analysis and provide the technical context necessary for rapid resolution.
Strategic Communication: Excellent writing, verbal and presentation skills; ability to translate technical bugs into business-level impact for stakeholders and maintain proactive alignment with supervisors and cross-functional teams. Active participation in design reviews, sprint planning, and daily stand-ups.
Adaptability & Collaboration: Thrives in environments with evolving requirements. You are a self-starter who works effectively across different time zones, fostering a culture of quality across engineering and product teams.
Skills and Competencies
Strong experience using Quality and Test Management tools (e.g., Jira, QASE).
