• Contribute to test plans, exploratory testing, and regression testing
• Advocate for quality and customer experience in every stage of product development

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Degree in a STEM-related field (Information Systems, IT, Computer Science) OR equivalent QA, UAT, or Product Operations experience
• Strong attention to detail, you spot what others miss

• Clear communication skills across technical and non-technical teams

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with SQL (writing and running queries)
• Familiarity with testing tools or automation environments
• Analytical problem-solver with a hands-on, proactive approach
• Previous experience in travel, e-commerce, or hospitality
