Job Description:
Seeking a highly responsible, experienced Quality Engineer with a strong background in automated and manual testing, including hands-on UI automation and API test development. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring quality, reliability, and performance of the application through a balanced approach of automated and manual testing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with functional and development teams to identify, document, and execute test cases aligned to business and technical requirements.

• Define and advance quality engineering practices, testing standards, and consistent quality processes across scrum teams.
