- Use Azure DevOps Test Plans to plan and execute regression testing, and Azure DevOps Pipelines to configure and run deployments to test environments.
- Improve our testing practices by identifying gaps in test coverage, proposing and implementing new test cases or automation improvements, and sharing best practices with the team.
- Help maintain production quality by investigating production issues and driving preventative improvements, such as strengthening automated regression coverage and test automation.

- Understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and how testing contributes to delivery.
- Proven experience in functional testing in a professional software environment with exposure to non‑functional testing (e.g., reliability, performance, security) and the ability to take ownership of test coverage for assigned features.
