• Validate data integrity across relational and non-relational databases using SQL;

• Maintain and report on QA metrics (coverage, defect trends) to support release decisions;

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of QA processes and best practices across the development lifecycle.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field;

• 3+ years of experience as a QA Analyst, Software Tester, or in a similar role;

• Strong command of test design techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables);

• Experience with test management tools (e.g., TestRail, Xray, or Zephyr);

• Hands-on experience testing APIs for validation (e.g., Postman);

• Good understanding of relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL and MongoDB) and SQL for test validation;

• Familiarity with BDD/Gherkin and agile delivery;

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with keen attention to detail;

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a hybrid/remote team.

Nice to have

• Exposure to test automation tools (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium);

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git);

• Awareness of performance/load testing concepts.
