Software QA Engineer
A Software QA Engineer verifies that software meets quality standards before release, combining manual and functional testing with automated test scripts built in tools like Selenium. They query SQL databases to validate data integrity, log and track defects in Jira or similar bug-tracking systems, and work within Agile/Scrum teams to test features throughout the development cycle. This role is essential wherever software reliability and user experience are business priorities.
