• Perform functional, integration, and regression testing to validate service behaviour, error handling, and edge cases.
• Validate data accuracy and integrity across system boundaries, ensuring consistent results for financial and transactional data.
• Work closely with developers during sprint cycles to clarify acceptance criteria, identify defects early, and support defect triage and resolution.
• Contribute automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and support test execution as part of build and release processes.
