- Participate in story grooming and understand testability early
- Gradually grow from executing tests to designing automation components
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- 3-4+ years of experience (or strong academic + internship experience)
- Programming experience in Java or Python (Type Script a plus)
- Foundational understanding of automation concepts (even if not deeply experienced)
- Interest in or early exposure to AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.)
- Understanding of Agile/Scrum and willingness to work in-sprint
- Comfort collaborating with developers and learning test frameworks
- Strong problem-solving mindset and curiosity about "how systems break"
- Exposure to Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or WebdriverIO
- Familiarity with AWS concepts (Lambda, SQS, APIs, cloud basics)
- API testing knowledge (REST fundamentals)
- Experience from academic projects or labs involving automation or CI/CD
- Passion for innovation and learning new tooling
- Early experience using AI for coding or debugging
