Author and manage test plans and scenarios for complex systems, validating functional, regression, integration, performance, and API-level testing.

Troubleshoot and analyze test failures, logging detailed and reproducible bug reports, and contributing to root cause analysis.

Leverage test management and tracking tools such as Jira and Zephyr Scale to document, prioritize, and report testing efforts across teams.

Promote and advocate for test automation, quality engineering practices, and tooling improvements that enhance developer productivity and product reliability.

Participate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives, while continuously optimizing QA strategies in a fast-paced startup environment.

Research and experiment with new testing tools and methodologies, introducing innovative solutions for quality assurance challenges.
