1–3 years in a manual QA or testing role
Solid understanding of QA fundamentals: test case design, test types, bug lifecycle, severity vs priority
Experience testing web applications across browsers and devices
Comfortable with a bug tracker (Jira, Linear, or similar) and a test management tool (TestRail, Qase, Zephyr, or a well-organised spreadsheet)
Precise, written communication — a good bug report is a piece of writing
Working English, written and spoken
A genuinely detail-obsessed streak. You notice the misaligned button and the off-by-one timestamp.
