* Provide clear test reporting and contribute to continuous improvement
What you bring
* Strong experience with Selenium, JMeter, GitLab CI/CD, and Xray
* Strong experience in automated testing and test framework development

* Understanding of SDLC, test methodologies, and complex distributed systems
* Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, multi-disciplinary environment
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working across diverse technologies, and contributing to a system with real-world impact.
