Overview

Were looking for a strong, hands-on QA tester to support business-critical applications in a fast-moving, Agile environment. This role is manual QAfirst , with a heavy emphasis on test case creation, execution, and validating complex business rules.

This is a good fit for someone who likes to dig in, try things, and figure problems out, not someone who needs step-by-step direction.

• Work closely with developers and product owners in an Agile/Scrum environment
• Help a busy QA team by jumping in where coverage is needed most

• Comfortable working independently and staying heads-down
• Curious and willing to try things instead of waiting for instructions
• Self-starter who takes ownership of quality
• Comfortable in a quieter, focused work style
• Strong math and logical reasoning skills

Technical Environment (Experience With Some Is Ideal)

• Agile / Scrum
• Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar tools
• Testing Desktop and web applications
• Testing IVR systems
• Financial or transaction-based systems
• Light exposure to SQL or C# is helpful but not required

Nice to Have
