• Solid experience with UI automation, including Page Object Model, CSS selectors, and XPath
• Experience with REST API testing
• Experience with Allure

• Familiarity with Specification-Driven Development (SDD)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively with changing or incomplete requirements
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with technical and business stakeholders
