About The Position

The Software Test Engineer ensures system quality through automated and manual testing, develops test frameworks, validates systems, and provides reliable feedback during development.

The Software Test Engineer collaborates with Engineering and Product teams to improve test coverage, identify defects early, and ensure consistent system behavior across environments. They work independently in assigned areas and are expected to understand both system functionality and failure modes.
