** Key Responsibilities** * + Execute quality control tests and analyses to verify that software meets specified standards, development requirements, and client expectations.  + Create and manage test data files to validate program logic, system flow, and edge-case scenarios.  + Collaborate with development and project teams to plan, complete, and document applicable test phases, including defect identification, tracking, and resolution.  + Administer and maintain quality standards for products and processes, including standard procedures and quality audits.  

+ Contribute to continuous improvement of QA workflows, leveraging automated testing frameworks and exposure to real-time financial systems.

** Required Qualifications** * + Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.  + 0–2 years of experience in software quality assurance or testing; internship or academic project experience counts.  + Proficiency or solid understanding of Python, including experience  in pytest for writing and executing automated tests.  + Familiarity with operating systems such as macOS or Linux, and foundational concepts including client-server architecture, network protocols, and basic system administration.  

+ Understanding of cloud environments (e.g., AWS), Version control tools like Git and experience using bug tracking and documentation tools such as JIRA and Confluence.  + Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

** Preferred Qualifications** * + Exposure to test automation frameworks (e.g., pytest) and test reporting tools (e.g., Allure).  + Familiarity with containerized environments such as Docker or Podman, used for spinning up and managing test environments.  + Experience or familiarity with AI-assisted development and testing tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot or similar).  + ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent.
