• Collaborates with product managers, developers, and support staff to ensure software specifications are understood and implemented correctly
• Partners with customer support to investigate reported issues and identify solutions
• Works with QA colleagues and other teams to improve product quality

• Testing Frameworks and Tools: working knowledge of manual testing tools and experience with automated testing tools (e.g., Jira, Selenium, Postman, Buildkite, Git), with the ability to execute and maintain existing test scripts and contribute to test automation efforts
• Experience applying AI tools such as Claude Code, Gemini or Copilot
