Responsibilities
- Test web-based applications for functionality, performance, and usability
- Validate API endpoints exposed through API gateways and backend services
- Design, execute, and maintain manual and automated test cases
- Use tools such as Postman and Swagger to test, document, and validate APIs
- Develop and maintain automated test scripts using frameworks such as Cypress or similar tools
- Analyze test results, identify defects, and clearly document issues for engineering teams
- Collaborate with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to ensure quality across releases
- Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and Agile ceremonies
- Perform regression, integration, and system-level testing across environments
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in software testing or quality assurance
- Strong experience testing web applications and RESTful APIs
- Hands-on experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman, Swagger)
- Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Cypress or equivalent)
- Understanding of programming/scripting languages (JavaScript preferred; Python, Java, or similar also acceptable)
- Familiarity with HTTP protocols, JSON, and API authentication methods
- Ability to read and interpret API specifications and documentation
- Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
Preferred Qualifications

- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into build processes
- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)
- Knowledge of performance or load testing tools
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or similar)
What We’re Looking For

- Strong communicator who can clearly explain issues and risks
- Self-starter comfortable working in a small, high-performing team
