Jr QA Analyst, Statflo

• 2+ years of hands-on software QA experience, ideally in a product or SaaS environment
• A solid understanding of manual testing fundamentals, including test case design, regression testing, exploratory testing, and defect reporting
• Some exposure to a test automation framework such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or a similar tool. You don't need to be an automation expert — we're looking for a willingness and ability to learn
• Basic familiarity with JavaScript, TypeScript, or another programming language is an asset. You should be comfortable learning to read and understand existing test code
• Experience testing REST APIs using Postman, Insomnia, or a similar tool
• Basic SQL skills and an understanding of how to use queries to set up or validate test data
• Familiarity with Git and basic branching/version-control concepts
• Experience working in a ticket-driven development process such as Jira or an equivalent tool
• Strong attention to detail and curiosity about how things work
• A willingness to ask questions, investigate problems, and learn from others
