• Hands-on experience with both manual and automated testing techniques.
• 3-5 years experience in automation and at least 1-2 years hands-on experience with Playwright
• Experience with Git for version control and collaborative testing workflows.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving mindset.
• Solid understanding of web-based software applications and browser technologies.
• Experience performing API testing (e.g., Postman, Insomnia) within an automation framework.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
• Ability to react positively to changing requirements, manage tight deadlines, and deliver high-quality results.
• Experience with web performance, security, accessibility, or usability testing.
• Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) to improve testing productivity.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Nice to Have:
• Cypress
• Knowledge of scripting tools such as Bash or PowerShell.
• General programming experience (e.g., C#, Ruby, Python).
• Exposure to test automation CI/CD integration or cloud-based test environments.

Benefits:
• Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
