 * Independently validate API transactions and the database records behind them to confirm data accuracy, business rules and end-to-end results
 * Run functional, integration, system, regression and user acceptance testing across multiple applications and services
 * Validate how data moves and transforms across connected systems, integrations and downstream consumers
 * Identify, document, troubleshoot and validate defects through resolution, using API responses, application logs and data analysis to find root causes
 * Partner with business and technical teams to clarify requirements, assess quality risks and make sure test coverage is complete
 * Report on testing progress, risks, defects and results, and support release validation and deployments
