Requirements

• 4+ years in QA or software testing, covering both web and mobile (iOS and Android) applications
• A sharp eye for detail and a genuine instinct for how software breaks as you think in edge cases and reproduce issues others miss
• Proven ability to write clear test cases, and bug reports engineers can act on immediately
• Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript for writing and maintaining test code
• Start Up Ready: autonomous, moves fast, takes initiative without being asked
• Strong communication and collaboration skills as you work naturally with product, design, and engineering and advocate for the user
• Hands-on experience building automated end-to-end and regression suites with modern frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Appium)
