Key Responsibilities
• Review product requirements, designs, and acceptance criteria to identify test needs, risks, and gaps
• Create and maintain clear, structured test documentation including test plans, test cases, checklists, and test reports
• Execute manual functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing for web and/or mobile applications
• Validate new features, bug fixes, and improvements across supported browsers, devices, and environments
• Perform API testing (manual) and data validation using tools and SQL queries when needed
• Log defects with strong reproduction steps, evidence, severity/priority, and impact analysis; track them through resolution
• Collaborate with engineers and product teams in agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, daily syncs, retrospectives)
• Contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes, standards, and release readiness criteria
• Support UAT and release activities by providing test sign-off inputs and post-release verification
• Mentor junior QA team members through test reviews, knowledge sharing, and best practices (as needed)

Must-Have Requirements
• 2+ years of experience in manual QA/testing for software products
• Strong understanding of QA fundamentals: SDLC/STLC, defect lifecycle, test design techniques, and risk-based testing
• Hands-on experience writing test cases and maintaining test documentation in a structured, traceable way
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally
• Familiarity with web technologies (HTTP/HTTPS, client-server basics, browser dev tools)
• Basic experience with API testing (e.g., Postman or similar tools) and interpreting request/response payloads
• Ability to write basic to intermediate SQL queries for data validation (SELECT, JOIN, WHERE) or willingness to learn quickly
• Excellent analytical thinking, attention to detail, and clear written communication

Nice-to-Have
• Experience with mobile testing (iOS/Android) and device/browser compatibility testing
• Experience with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, Xray)
• Understanding of CI/CD concepts and how QA fits into release pipelines
• Experience with accessibility, localization, performance, or security testing (manual/assisted)
• Exposure to test automation concepts and willingness to transition toward automation over time

What We Offer
• A collaborative team environment where quality is a shared responsibility
• Opportunities to influence product quality, processes, and ways of working
• Professional development support and clear growth paths within QA and engineering
• Flexible work arrangements (depending on location and team needs)
