  • Recommend improvements to QA workflows, automation opportunities, and quality standards.
  • What You Bring

  • Solid understanding of SDLC and hands-on experience working in Agile / Scrum.
  • Ability to write user stories, test cases, acceptance criteria, and related documentation.
  • Experience with tools like JIRA, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
  • Working knowledge of SQL for data checks and troubleshooting.
  • Strong communication skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to organize and prioritize multiple tracks of work.
  • High attention to detail with a user-focused mindset.
  • Bonus Points

  • Exposure to modern front-end / back-end stacks such as Angular, React, Spring Boot, and relational databases (MySQL preferred).
  • Experience in telecom, asset-management, or inventory-related application environments.
