* Contributing ideas to improve our QA stack and overall engineering practices
* Taking part in hack days, experimenting with new tools and innovative approaches

* Proven ability to design and structure maintainable automated test suites
* Hands‑on experience with BDD practices and test design approaches
* Confident testing APIs using tools such as Postman, JMeter, or similar
