• Test Planning & Execution: Develop and execute manual and automated test cases for new features, functional requirements, and regression testing.
• Quality Assurance Leadership: Identify gaps in test coverage, recommend process improvements, and strengthen QA practices across the development lifecycle.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, expected versus actual results, and severity levels.
• Automation Support: Develop, maintain, or improve automated test scripts using frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, or pytest.
• API Testing: Perform manual and automated API testing to validate backend services, integrations, and application behavior.
• Data Validation: Use database queries and data investigation techniques to validate application behavior and troubleshoot defects.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with developers and product stakeholders to clarify requirements, troubleshoot issues, and ensure acceptance criteria are met.
• Release Support: Participate in biweekly release cycles, including evening release windows, to validate functionality and support release quality.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional experience in software quality assurance.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience testing AI agents, LLM-based applications, or agentic workflows is required.
• Understanding of AI-specific testing challenges, including non-deterministic outputs, response consistency, edge cases, and failure handling.
• Strong understanding of manual testing methodologies, test case design, defect lifecycle management, and regression testing.
• Experience with functional, integration, API, and cross-browser testing.
• Experience identifying QA process improvements and gaps in test coverage.
• Proficiency with bug-tracking and test-management tools such as Jira and TestRail.
• Basic database skills for validating data and investigating defects, including SQL, MongoDB, and Databricks.
• Familiarity with Git and automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with at least one test automation framework, such as Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, or pytest.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision.
