Quality Advocacy: Identify, record, document thoroughly, and track bugs, working closely with developers to ensure timely resolution.

Requirements

Experience: 3+ years of proven experience in Test Automation.
Programming: Strong coding ability in Python.
Frameworks: Hands-on experience with Pytest (or other standard Python testing frameworks).
