Utilise quantitative and qualitative data to identify areas to improve quality, performance bottlenecks, optimise system performance, and proactively address potential issues
Lead manual testing of large product changes, defining test cases and plans covering functional, non-functional, performance, and security aspects
Requirements
Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, including agile testing and TDD
Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g. Python, JavaScript)
Experience in a fast-paced VC-backed tech startup or scale-up environment
Experience designing and implementing automated testing frameworks and determining appropriate testing coverage and types for different system components
