• Basic understanding of QA methodologies (functional, regression, acceptance, exploratory testing); Familiarity with writing acceptance criteria or test cases.
• Understanding of software development lifecycles (Agile, Scrum, or Kanban).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to spot gaps or inconsistencies in requirements; Basic familiarity with Linux and command-line tools.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn about Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.

Nice to Have
