Simulate and validate webhook-driven flows, testing for successful delivery, error handling, retries, and payload correctness

Use tools like Postman to explore, document, and validate backend APIs, ensuring they meet functional, performance, and edge-case requirements

Support early involvement in design discussions to ensure testability and reliability of backend interactions

Write and execute direct SQL queries (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) to validate application behavior, financial calculations, and data integrity

Understand complex normalized schemas and trace data across multiple tables and relationships to ensure backend correctness

Help identify and resolve data anomalies such as missing references, incorrect aggregations, or unexpected rounding behaviors

Partner with engineering, product, and data teams to fully understand business logic, technical architecture, and financial use cases

Provide thoughtful, detailed bug reports with clear steps to reproduce and meaningful business context

Participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, grooming, retrospectives) and serve as a quality advocate throughout the development cycle

Ask probing questions, challenge assumptions, and promote a culture of continuous improvement in testing and delivery processes

Approach testing with a high attention to detail, proactively identifying edge cases, data anomalies, and system-level inconsistencies before they reach production

Demonstrate a creative and curious mindset—not just validating requirements, but actively looking for what might break or be missed

Translate business rules and financial logic into test scenarios, ensuring the system handles calculations, rounding, currency formats, and data integrity with precision

Develop a strong understanding of finance-related workflows to better anticipate risk areas and ensure domain-appropriate validation

Communicate clearly and constructively across product, engineering, and data teams—raising questions and concerns early, with a focus on cross-functional collaboration
