• Familiarity with bug tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues)

• Ability to clearly communicate issues to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable owning validation decisions, initiating QA–Dev syncs when needed, and partnering with engineers to improve product quality without adding unnecessary process.
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset
