• Design, execute, and maintain manual and automated tests at the story, feature, and regression levels
• Contribute to and expand automated test coverage; experience with Playwright is a strong plus
• Perform functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing throughout the sprint lifecycle
• Identify, document, and triage defects with clear reproduction steps, severity, and impact
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives)
• Analyze logs and system behavior to support defect investigation and root cause analysis
• Collaborate with other QA engineers to improve standards, tooling, and best practices
• Use Azure Dev Ops for test management, defect tracking, and traceability
• Operate effectively in a Windows 11 environment using Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) for documentation, analysis, and reporting

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a QA Engineer or Software Test Engineer embedded on Agile teams
• Strong understanding of Agile and SAFe frameworks and QA's role in iterative delivery
• Solid knowledge of QA methodologies, test design techniques, and defect lifecycle management
• Familiarity with TDD and BDD concepts and working with acceptance criteria
• Ability to write clear, concise, and maintainable test cases and documentation
• Experience balancing manual testing with growing levels of automation
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Self-motivated, accountable, and comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
• Willingness to learn new technologies and continuously improve skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Public Safety, emergency response, or other mission-critical systems
• Hands-on experience with Playwright or similar modern automation frameworks
• Familiarity with browser developer tools and debugging techniques
• Experience with Azure Cloud, Kubernetes, and PaaS / SaaS architectures
• Working knowledge of SQL Server Management Studio and SQL scripting
