* Experience with monitoring and debugging tools such as Sentry or Elasticsearch.
* Understanding of performance testing concepts and tools like JMeter or Gatling.
* Experience using test management systems (for example TestRail) and project tools such as Jira and Confluence.
* Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions.
* Experience working in an Agile, fast‑paced environment, ideally with microservices.

What They Offer
