- Set up and maintain physical and virtual test environments, including required hardware, software, data, configuration, and containerized components.
- Use established automation frameworks and tools to create and maintain automated test scenarios and improve repeatability.
- Participate in backlog refinement, sprint planning, design reviews, requirements discussions, daily standups, demonstrations, and retrospectives.
- Collaborate with developers, product teams, DevOps, and other test engineers to clarify expected behavior and resolve technical issues.
- Communicate test progress, defects, risks, dependencies, and mitigation needs to project leads and managers.
- Create and maintain test plans, traceability artifacts, installation procedures, environment documentation, and reusable test assets.
- Support release-readiness, deployment validation, and post-release investigation for assigned solution areas.
- Keep current with testing practices, technologies, and tools that can improve test effectiveness and engineering productivity.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 4+ years of professional software test engineering or quality engineering experience.
- Solid understanding of software test methodologies, test layers, quality practices, and the software development lifecycle.
- Hands-on experience with test design, test execution, coverage analysis, defect reporting, and defect lifecycle management.
- Experience working within Agile development teams and using Agile work-management tools.
- Experience testing APIs and using automation or test tools such as Selenium, Cucumber, Jenkins, Postman, TestNG, or equivalent technologies.
- Working programming or scripting skills sufficient to understand and use established automation frameworks.
- Basic working knowledge of Linux commands and file systems.
- Experience setting up and troubleshooting software test environments.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and attention-to-detail skills.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills, including professional English proficiency.
- Ability to independently own assigned test deliverables while collaborating effectively across disciplines.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience testing retail, POS, payments, or other highly transactional systems.
- Experience with Java or another programming language used for test automation.
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, virtual environments, or customer-like integrated test environments.
