• Hands‑on experience using Generative AI tools to support software development or testing
• A good understanding of prompt engineering and AI‑assisted code generation
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
• Strong knowledge of testing strategies across the software development lifecycle
• Experience mentoring or supporting engineers in quality engineering best practices
