• Perform cross-browser, cross-device, and responsive design testing.
• Conduct API testing using appropriate tools and frameworks.
• Execute performance and load testing for critical user journeys.
• Test secure authentication and identity flows, including OAuth, SAML, and Azure AD B2C.
• Develop and implement comprehensive QA strategies combining manual and automated approaches.
• Create and maintain test plans based on user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical requirements.
• Define test scope, objectives, success metrics, quality gates, and exit criteria across the development lifecycle.
• Own the regression testing strategy and perform impact analysis for new features.

Requirements:
• 5+ years of experience in Software QA.
• 2+ years of experience with test automation, using Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
• 2+ years of hands-on manual testing experience.
• Proven experience designing and maintaining automated test suites.
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of API testing and authentication/identity flows.
• Comfortable working across web, mobile, and API-based systems.
• Detail-oriented and thorough, with a strong focus on execution and reliability.
• Balanced working style, able to collaborate effectively while owning deliverables independently.

Nice to Have:
• Experience with performance and load testing tools.
• Exposure to secure identity systems such as OAuth, SAML, or Azure AD B2C.
• Experience contributing to QA process improvements and test strategy definition.
