• Ability to run Node.js applications and Python scripts locally via command line.
• Comfortable managing local environments (e.g., running npm install, pip install, configuring Drupal settings).
• Familiarity with AWS Console for tasks such as checking S3 buckets, viewing CloudWatch logs, and verifying service status.
• API testing independent of UI to validate data exchange and status codes (200, 404, 500), including JSON structure verification.

• Browser DevTools Mastery
• Power user of Chrome/Firefox/Safari Developer Tools, including DOM style inspection and live CSS editing.
• Deep understanding of the Box Model for debugging front-end issues.

• Network analysis for API payload inspection and performance waterfall monitoring.
• Device simulation and user agent modification for responsive and cross-device testing.
• Throttling network conditions to test application behavior under constrained scenarios.

• Testing Scope
• Versatile testing across content-heavy CMS (Drupal) and backend scripts.
• Validate interactions between Drupal CMS and themes, including workflow and permissions.
• Backend script testing for Python and Node.js, including file output and runtime error capture.
• Cross-platform testing using tools like BrowserStack on multiple OS/browser combinations (iOS Safari, Android Chrome, Windows Edge).

• Automated End-to-End (E2E) Testing
• Manual testing as core, but automation skills preferred.
• Proficiency with Cypress for writing and maintaining test suites for user journeys.
• Experience with Playwright or Puppeteer (Node.js) for automating form fills and data generation.
• Use of robust DOM selectors (ids, data-attributes) for stable automation scripts.

• Reporting & Organization
• Maintain high standards of Jira ticket hygiene (steps to reproduce, environment details, severity).
• Organize documentation (test plans, regression suites) in Google Drive.
• Proactive Slack communication with developers, including clear context and DevTools screenshots.
