- Experience refining and improving test plans, including AI-generated test cases

- Strong bug reporting skills with clear, structured, and reproducible documentation

- Familiarity with complex desktop UI patterns and system-level behaviors

- Understanding of platform-specific components such as Windows Shell, registry, NSIS installers, macOS app bundles, and system integrations

- Experience working with Microsoft Teams and Git-based issue tracking systems

- Strong written English communication skills

Good-To-Have Requirements
