• Collaborate with developers, designers, and product owners to understand requirements, user stories, and edge cases.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint demos).

• Work with developers to reproduce issues, support debugging, and promote quality-first development practices.

• Provide QA input during requirement analysis and design phases to identify quality risks early.

Required Skills

• 5+ years of QA/testing experience in modern web application development.

• Strong expertise in React/Next.js UI testing (component states, lifecycle testing).

• Extensive experience in API testing (GraphQL & REST) - authentication, authorization, schema, and performance.

• Strong understanding of responsive design principles and cross-browser testing.

• Knowledge of accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA).
