  • Experience testing AI-driven or data-heavy applications
  • Knowledge of performance or load testing tools
  • Exposure to cloud environments (AWS / Azure / GCP)

What We're Looking For
  • Strong ownership mindset — cares about end-to-end quality
  • Ability to balance manual and automation testing effectively
  • Analytical thinker who can identify edge cases and risks
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Good communication and collaboration skills
