• Develop and execute performance test scripts using JMeter, analyzing application performance and identifying potential bottlenecks.

• Utilize tools such as TestComplete, Selenium, ReadyAPI, Postman, and JMeter across testing activities.

• Test APIs and integrations using Postman and/or ReadyAPI, particularly as the modernized environment introduces new APIs and integration services.

• Support automation testing of Windows-based applications, where applicable.

• Work closely with developers and technical leads to identify defects and ensure solutions meet functional and technical requirements.

• Manage test data and perform database/backend validation as required.

• Apply risk-based testing techniques to prioritize testing efforts around high-impact functionality.

• Participate in code/design discussions and ensure testing aligns with the broader engineering standards being established across TechMod, including automation, CI/CD, APIs, and security.

• Perform manual testing where automation is not practical or where project requirements call for additional exploratory validation.

• Contribute to improving the team's overall automation framework and testing processes.

• Ability and willingness to perform both automated and manual testing

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 2–3+ years of strong hands-on automation testing experience

• Hands-on experience with TestComplete for a Windows application

• Experience creating and executing JMeter performance test scripts

• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, regression testing, functional testing, and risk-based testing

NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Exposure to AI-assisted test creation, including AI-based manual or automated test generation

• Previous experience within the insurance or Group Benefits industry
