• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integration tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.
• A passion for quality assurance and a drive to improve testing processes.

Nice to have:

• Experience working in an Agile development environment.
• Experience with API testing and performance testing tools.
