• Develop and maintain automated tests for C#/.NET and SharePoint/Power Platform components and integrations where required.
• Spend the majority of your time writing code (tests, tools, utilities) rather than coordinating or managing testing activities.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.).
• Investigate test failures, diagnose flaky tests, and drive issues to resolution in collaboration with developers.
• Collaborate with engineers and product owners to define test strategies and ensure adequate automated coverage for new and existing features.
• Translate requirements and user stories into clear, maintainable test cases and automation scenarios.
• Perform targeted exploratory testing when necessary to uncover edge cases and high-risk defects.
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions to improve code quality and testability.
• Document test frameworks, utilities, and best practices to support knowledge sharing and onboarding.
• The work is 100% hands on/implementation

• Hands-on experience testing applications built on MEAN or MERN (e.g., Angular/React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB).
• Experience with UI test automation using tools such as Cypress, Playwright.
• Experience with API test automation tools such as Postman (with Newman), SuperTest, REST Assured (via C# or Java), Karate, or similar.

• Working knowledge of C#/.NET and willingness to contribute to automation and test tooling in that ecosystem when required.
• Understanding of or exposure to testing in SharePoint/Power Platform solutions (e.g., SPFx components, Power Apps, Power Automate flows) or strong willingness to learn.
• Solid understanding of software testing principles, test design techniques, and the SDLC.
• Experience with functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing in an agile environment.
• Practical experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, CircleCI, etc.).
• Comfortable with Git and modern development workflows (branching, pull requests, code reviews).

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Azure and/or other cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) for deploying and testing web applications.
