- Proficient in scripting or programming (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Java) for creating test frameworks and tooling.
- Knowledge of web and mobile testing approaches, including responsive design, cross-browser testing, and device emulators.
- Experience with authentication/authorization flows, encryption, and third-party identity integrations.
