• Understanding of functional and non-functional testing, including reliability, performance, security, or accessibility considerations

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, and pull request-based development workflows

• Ability to debug test failures, analyze logs, investigate issues, and collaborate with engineers on technical problems

Nice to Have

• Experience with performance, reliability, security, accessibility, or visual testing
