Execute hands-on quality assurance activities, primarily manual testing, to ensure stable and reliable product releases. Collaborate closely with Developers, Product Owners, and Business Analysts to ensure solutions meet functional, non-functional, performance, and scalability requirements. Design, maintain, and execute test artefacts including test plans, test cases, acceptance criteria, and regression test suites. Manage the full defect lifecycle, including accurate logging, prioritisation, investigation, escalation, and verification through to resolution. Validate backend data integrity and test outcomes using SQL queries and database checks. Analyse application behaviour and performance using logs and metrics (e.g. Splunk) to identify quality risks. Perform API validation using tools such as Postman. Support deployments to test and staging environments using SSH and Git. Work within AWS environments (including S3, EC2, RDS, and Lambda) to support QA and testing activities. Design and execute complex test scenarios across multiple browsers and platforms. Prepare, manage, and maintain appropriate test data to support functional and end-to-end testing. Ensure effective fault reporting, monitoring, and communication throughout the testing lifecycle. Participate in root cause analysis of defects and incidents. Contribute to improving QA processes, standards and best practices. Foster a positive, solution-focused approach, providing clear, constructive, and open feedback.
