• Some experience working with CI/CD pipelines and version control tools (e.g., Git, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins).
• Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A proactive approach to learning, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.

Desirable:

• Exposure to data projects or testing in analytics/AI/ML environments.
• Knowledge of SQL and ability to validate data between systems.
• Familiarity with BDD tools (e.g., Gauge, Cucumber, SpecFlow).
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Familiarity with performance testing tools or security testing concepts.

• Plan and execute manual and automated test cases for data, AI, and cloud-native applications.
• Collaborate with developers, engineers, and delivery leads to define acceptance criteria and test coverage.
• Build and maintain test automation scripts and frameworks for APIs, web apps, and pipelines.
• Carry out regression, functional, integration, and exploratory testing.
• Help triage bugs and issues, working with the team to resolve them efficiently.
• Contribute to QA best practices, documentation, and knowledge sharing within the team.
