What Matters for This Role
We're looking for a self-driven engineer who's equally comfortable testing a product by hand, writing automated tests, digging into architecture, logs, and pipelines, and systematically improving product quality - without moving into people management.

## Description

 * Test APIs, integrations, and microservice interactions.
 * Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and regression suites.
 * Write and maintain automated tests in Python and TypeScript/JavaScript.
 * Integrate automated checks into the CI/CD pipeline.
 * Collaborate with product managers, developers, and designers on implementation quality.
Data, Scraping & AI Product Testing

 * Test scraping processes, data pipelines, and distributed services in live environments.
 * Test retries, rate limits, partial failures, degradation of external sources, and process recovery.
 * Perform load and performance testing of critical services.
 * Contribute to automated quality gates and quality metrics.
 * Apply AI tools for test generation, log analysis, edge-case discovery, and regression automation.
