  • Querying databases directly in SQL to prove what the application is really doing
  • Testing APIs with Postman, SOAPUI or the equivalent
  • Logging, managing and chasing issues through JIRA
  • Hunting the edge cases — the meticulous, logical part of the job that separates a good testengineer from a checklist

What you will need

  • Real experience turning requirements into structured test artefacts, not just executingsomeone else's script
  • SQL you can write yourself, and hands-on API testing
  • JIRA or a comparable issue tracker as daily habit
  • User-level comfort on Linux
  • An eye for detail and a problem-solving mindset
