* Learn our niche, complex system quickly and begin contributing with meaningful test coverage early on.
* Help the team build a growing suite of repeatable, reliable test cases for core areas of the product.
* Be an advocate for quality in sprint planning, design reviews, and retrospectives.
Skills & Experience Required:
* 2–3+ years of hands-on QA experience in a software development environment.
* A self-starter who thrives in unstructured environments and can help build things from the ground up.
* A strong understanding of software testing best practices, defect management, and test design.
* Experience testing web-based platforms (functional, regression, exploratory testing).
* Ability to pick up complex systems quickly and spot edge cases others might miss.
* Clear, concise communicator who enjoys working with developers and sharing feedback.
* Bonus: experience with test automation frameworks or scripting.
