• Mentor others in testing approaches, share best practices, and maintain documentation, visuals, and onboarding materials.

• 2+ years of progressive experience in commercial software testing or development.

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field, or equivalent work experience.

• Strong data literacy—able to interpret numerical data, graphs, and charts to inform decisions.

• Proficiency in API testing (RESTful APIs, Postman, or similar tools).

• Ability to validate API responses, performance, and security fixes.

• Strong SQL skills for querying and verifying databases; familiarity with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server.

• Basic understanding of Azure infrastructure and cloud-based monitoring tools like Azure Application Insights.

• Programming experience in PHP, JavaScript, or Python.

• Experience with automation frameworks like Cypress, Postman, or Playwright.
