Test authentication, authorization, role-based access, and relevant KYC/KYB, AML, and fraud-monitoring workflows. Verify data accuracy, transaction integrity, and application behaviour under different conditions. Support security, performance, usability, and post-release testing activities. Project Coordination and Delivery Coordinate software projects from planning and development through testing, release, and deployment. Track project timelines, sprint activities, milestones, deliverables, and outstanding tasks. Coordinate stand-ups, sprint reviews, testing sessions, UAT, and release meetings. Follow up with developers, Product, DevOps, Operations, and other stakeholders on pending tasks and blockers. Escalate risks, delays, and unresolved issues to the appropriate supervisor. Defect, Release and Documentation Management Maintain test cases, test evidence, defect logs, QA reports, and project status updates. Coordinate release readiness checks and verify fixes before deployment. Support staging validation, production verification, and rollback coordination when necessary. Prepare concise reports on testing progress, defect trends, project risks, and release readiness. Continuous Improvement Recommend AI tools, test automation opportunities, and QA process improvements. Monitor recurring defects and support root-cause analysis.
