• Security testing awareness — OWASP top 10, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing coordination
• Test environment management — working with DevOps to maintain dev, staging, UAT, and production parity
• Regression suite maintenance and optimization to keep pace with rapid feature development
• Bug tracking, defect triage, and release readiness reporting
• UAT coordination with business stakeholders and insurance domain experts

What Were Looking For:

• 3+ years in QA Engineering or Software Testing with strong automation experience
• Hands-on test automation with at least one major framework: Selenium (C#/Java), Playwright, Cypress, or SpecFlow
• API testing experience — Postman, RestSharp, or equivalent for RESTful API validation
• Experience testing .NET Core / ASP.NET applications — understanding of C# is a strong plus
• Experience testing Angular or modern SPA frontends
• Familiarity with Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD tools for pipeline-integrated testing
• Database testing — writing SQL queries for MongoDB and/or SQL Server validation
• Understanding of microservices architecture and message broker testing (Kafka/RabbitMQ)
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum — sprint-level test planning, story-level acceptance criteria
• Experience with Git version control and branching strategies
• Clear, structured bug reporting and defect management (Jira or Azure Boards)

Strong Pluses

• Experience in regulated industries — InsurTech, FinTech, banking, payments, or government platforms
• ISTQB or equivalent QA certification
• Experience with BDD frameworks — SpecFlow, Cucumber, or Gherkin-based test authoring
• Performance testing tools — JMeter, k6, Gatling, or Azure Load Testing
• Security testing awareness — OWASP, ZAP, Burp Suite
