• Detect bugs and UI issues across a variety of devices, browsers, and operating systems.
• Provide clear, actionable feedback on test results, usability issues, and system reliability.
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to validate functionality, debug issues, identify root causes, understand new features, and drive resolution.
• Ensure applications meet functional, regression, usability, and exploratory testing standards.

• Experience testing applications on low-code platforms, especially Outsystems (manual and automated).
• Exceptional attention to detail with proven experience in technical and business documentation.
• Strong ability to perform manual testing with a "break the product" mindset to uncover edge cases, usability issues, and perform exploratory/regression testing.
• Experience in facilitating UAT and collaborating with non-technical business users.
• Expertise in test automation using frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, Puppeteer) and CI/CD pipeline integration.
• Familiarity with BDD frameworks (Cucumber, SpecFlow, or equivalent) for integration testing.
• Experience with performance/load testing tools such as JMeter.
• Skilled in test planning, test case design, defect tracking, and traceability matrices.
• Proficiency in defect management and test planning using tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.
