  • Work closely with developers and stakeholders in Agile/Scrum teams
  • Translate requirements into clear, effective test cases and test plans
  • Support customer-facing activities including acceptance testing, go-lives, demos, and training
  • Stay ahead of the curve with AI testing, autonomous agents, and multi agent systems
  • Occasional international travel (up to 30%) as part of project delivery

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years' experience in QA / software testing
  • Strong Python skills
  • Hands-on test automation experience with Playwright
  • Experience or exposure to AI/ML applications in testing
  • Familiarity with AI testing frameworks (PyTest, TensorFlow or similar)
  • Understanding of ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch) and QA AI agents (e.g. PaperClip or similar)
  • Comfortable using AI-powered IDEs such as PyCharm
  • Solid knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies
  • Experience with test management & defect tracking tools (Jira, Azure DevOps)
  • Curious, proactive, and comfortable in fast‑paced environments
