• Perform API testing to validate backend functionality and integrations.
• Create and maintain performance testing tools to assess system reliability and scalability.
• Defect identification, reporting, triage & retesting.
• Evaluate and improve the existing test architecture, ensuring scalability, maintainability and efficiency in the testing strategy.
• Collaboration within a cross functional development team (working closely with the developers to understand requirements & functionality of the product). Documentation & reporting
• Ability to follow the SDLC processes

• Static & dynamic testing methodologies.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the QA process.
