Support the supervisor in delivering and enabling QA; validate front-end and back-end behavior with SQL-focused and ETL-aware testing. Work with onsite/offshore Agile peers, exercise sound judgment on test planning, and contribute to stable releases. Hands-on automation QA experience is a strong plus—ideal candidates strengthen regression and CI while still owning manual and SQL-backed validation.

Responsibilities

Define test activities, deliverables, and schedules; assess upstream/downstream impact across UI, services/APIs, messaging, and data for batch and real-time changes. Maintain smoke, functional, and regression suites for GUI and database/backend validation; apply SQL and ETL-style checks to pipelines, loads, and reconciliation.
