You will:

Design and execute

automated backend tests

Reproduce and troubleshoot

complex technical scenarios

Test

application-to-application communication

(connectivity, cryptography, message protocols, APIs)

Work with systems interacting with technologies like

databases, messaging platforms, and enterprise software

Contribute to improving and maintaining

CI/CD pipelines

Help drive

automation and optimization

across the development lifecycle

Collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and other engineers to deliver

end-to-end solutions

You may occasionally support

analysis, development, or DevOps-related tasks

— giving you broad exposure early in your career.
