The expected base salary for this position will vary depending on a number of factors, including relevant experience, skills and location.

• Design and execute test cases: develop comprehensive and reproducible test cases based on complex requirements and execute them independently. Perform a variety of testing types, including functional, integration, and regression tests to reduce production defects.
• Perform manual and automated testing: with the goal of minimizing production defects, conduct both manual and automated testing. Automate key functional and regression tests and ensure test scripts are efficient and reusable. Contribute to implementing and improving the automation test suite.
• Documentation for process and bug report: independently create test cases, test results and bug reports. Provide easy‑to‑follow test cases and concise reproducible steps in bug reports, keeping all documentation up‑to‑date for medium sized features to ensure overall quality.
• Cross‑functional collaboration and communication: work closely with TPM/engineers to clarify product requirements and provide feedback from early versions of requirements to release, ensuring the software meets business and user expectations for medium‑complex features. Facilitate and guide UAT activities.
• Mentor TE team members on product knowledge: provide mentorship to junior team members, offering guidance on test design, execution, and best practices. Share knowledge and provide feedback to support their product knowledge growth.
• Critical thinking and problem‑solving skills: identify obstacles impacting testing progress and work with other team members to take initiative to resolve them. Collaborate with peers and developers to ensure issues are addressed without significant delays.
• Test case review: conduct thorough reviews of test cases to ensure they are comprehensive, clear, and aligned with requirements. Provide feedback to peers on test cases and collaborate to refine them where necessary.
• Monitor and analyze testing metrics: track testing metrics such as test coverage, defect density, and execution time. Analyze results to assess testing effectiveness and proactively identify areas for improvement.
• Test automation effectiveness and coverage: expand automation knowledge and take ownership of automated tests.

Minimum:
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems or other related fields or equivalent combination of education and experience.

Minimum: 3+ years industry experience, independently working on small to medium sized projects.

• Adaptability and flexibility: familiar with adapting to changing requirements, code designs and implementation changes, new technologies, methods to solve problems, shift priorities, workstyle and responsibilities.
• Critical thinking and problem‑solving skills: ability to troubleshoot more complex issues independently, identifying root causes of defects and proposing solutions. Collaborates with developers to fix issues efficiently.
• Requirements analysis: ability to analyze moderately complex…
