Go Beyond the User Interface

- Test RESTful APIs and microservices using tools such as Postman and Swagger/OpenAPI.

- Use SQL and observability tools to validate data, investigate issues and support root cause analysis.

Contribute to Agile Delivery

- Participate in sprint planning, refinement sessions, stand-ups, retrospectives and release activities.

- Partner with the Lead QA Engineer to prioritise testing based on risk, customer impact and delivery timelines.
