o Experience with test automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Playwright, Mocha), and with using AI coding assistants to accelerate and strengthen test development.

o A solid grasp of how distributed, cloud-hosted systems behave, including APIs, performance, resilience, and failure modes, and how to test them.

o Familiarity with test-driven development and CI/CD practices and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Github Actions).
