• Elementary Python scripting — reading/writing basic test scripts or automation helpers
• Prior formal or informal QA lead or senior contributor experience with ownership of team standards or onboarding
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

Responsibilities

• Design and execute functional test cases, suites, and plans for UI and API surfaces in TestRail (incl. MCP + Claude AI integration); lead test plan reviews and peer approvals for junior engineers
• Use Claude AI and MCP server integrations daily for test case generation, defect analysis, and knowledge base contributions; evaluate and validate AI-generated and agentic workflow outputs
• Co-own regression strategy and end-to-end release validation cycles with the Manual QA Lead; drive release readiness tracking and milestone reporting
• Perform advanced manual API testing; build and maintain Postman collections; apply boundary analysis, equivalence partitioning, exploratory testing, and risk-based coverage
• Triage and log defects in JIRA with executive-ready clarity; proactively flag risks with context and recommended actions via Slack and email
