- Familiarity with Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum or Kanban) and working with user stories.
- Experience with any test management tools (e.g., Xray, TestRail) is a plus.
- Experience using AI-powered tools in an academic, personal, or professional context (e.g., for code completion, documentation search, or generating test ideas).
- Internship, co-op, or project experience involving software testing, QA, or development.
