API, Integration & Non-Functional Testing

  • Test REST APIs and complex integrations (including EDI-style integrations)
  • Perform performance, load, and reliability testing
  • Contribute to security and robustness testing where appropriate

Agile Collaboration

  • Actively participate in refinement by shaping clear, testable acceptance criteria
  • Collaborate with developers during sprint planning to ensure quality considerations are embedded early
  • Work within Scrum (2-week sprints) using Azure DevOps

  • Mentor engineers and future QA team members

  • Deep understanding of testing across APIs, integrations, UI, and non-functional areas

  • Comfortable working with complex, long-lived systems
  • Able to balance pragmatism with high standards

Highly Valued

  • Experience testing large, distributed, business-critical systems
  • Confidence influencing developers and engineering leadership
  • Experience in cross-border, distributed teams
