• Perform input validation and API security testing covering token handling, rate limiting, and error message sanitization
• Build, maintain, and enhance automated regression suites integrated with CI/CD pipelines, including SAST/DAST security scanning tools
• Identify, document, track, and prioritise defects and security vulnerabilities with clear reproduction steps and risk assessment
• Collaborate with developers on root cause analysis, defect trends, and process improvements to prevent recurrence
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and provide quality and security insights during product reviews and retrospectives

• Understanding of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and hands-on experience with security testing tools such as OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite
• Knowledge of authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, JWT, SAML), role-based access control, and multi-tenant data isolation testing
