  • Strong analytical, documentation, and stakeholder-communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a distributed or remote team.


Exposure to Selenium, Java, Jenkins, Git, mobile testing, healthcare, banking, insurance, retail, or telecommunications systems is beneficial but not mandatory.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze requirements, user stories, workflows, and acceptance criteria.
  • Design detailed test scenarios, test cases, test data, and execution plans.
