Quality Assurance Analyst

Client is in the active delivery phase of an integration and components project and is seeking immediate support in test execution without a long learning curve. The ideal candidate is an experienced manual tester, comfortable with APIs and databases, capable of working on critical functional scenarios in a dynamic Agile environment. The role is explicitly short-term: concrete contribution from day one, simple and effective testing rather than methodological perfectionism. Jira and Xray are the defect management tools; familiarity with these tools is expected but not formally required. Experience in automation is an asset, not a selection criterion, which confirms that the need is primarily manual and operational. Knowledge of the financial sector is an asset but is highly relevant to the context.

• Validate the system's main flows (e.g., insert, read, update)
  


• Test using:
  


• APIs
  


• Databases
  


• Application scenarios
  


• Identify and document anomalies in Jira/Xray
  


• Prioritize tests based on delivery objectives
  


• Collaborate closely with developers to validate delivered features
  


• Adopt a pragmatic approach (simple, efficient, results-oriented tests)
