• Validate data flow, connectivity, and system behavior in distributed environments.
• Document test results and participate in root cause analysis of issues.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in software testing or SDET roles.
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, test planning, and defect lifecycle.
• Working knowledge of Java, JUnit, and TestNG.
• Familiarity with Java fundamentals, SQL, Selenium WebDriver, Postman, RestAssured, GitHub, and Jenkins.

Nice to Have
