- Track release blockers and work with the team to resolve them in a timely manner.
- Triage incoming issues, escalating critical issues to the appropriate team members.
What We Are Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in software quality assurance, with some experience in client testing.
- Hands-on experience testing applications across Windows, macOS, iOS, tvOS, Android, and Linux environments, including familiarity with platform-specific testing tools and debugging techniques.
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, routing protocols, firewalls, and VPN technologies with ability to analyze network traffic and troubleshoot connectivity issues.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with experience creating detailed test documentation, bug reports, and technical specifications for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail.
Nice to Have
- Experience with test automation frameworks and tools, such as Selenium, Appium, or similar.
- Familiarity with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) processes and tools.
- Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, or Go for writing test scripts and automation.
