• Experience testing applications on HP NonStop (Tandem) systems.
• Experience testing software built with COBOL, SCOBOL, TAL, C, TACL and Enform, or the ability to read this code well enough to design effective tests. Developer-level coding is not required.

• Hands-on experience with test automation, including web UI automation (Playwright preferred; comparable tools such as Selenium or Cypress are a plus).
• Ability to write and run SQL queries to validate data.
• Experience testing APIs and web services (REST/WebApi) with tools such as Postman, and working with XML and JSON data.
• Experience with Jira for defect and work tracking.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail.
