Skills you need for this role

Detected from the job title, description, and tags.

Automation skills

Selenium — Still the most-asked browser automation framework in QA interviews and legacy suites.
Playwright — Modern cross-browser automation with auto-waits — increasingly the default at product companies.
BDD (Cucumber / SpecFlow) — Used when product + QA collaborate on executable specs.

API / backend testing

REST API testing — Almost every QA role now expects you to validate JSON contracts and status codes.
Postman / Newman — Standard tool for API exploration and shareable collections.

CI/CD and DevOps

Jenkins — Legacy CI still widely deployed — expect pipeline-as-code questions.
GitLab CI — Common in enterprise stacks that self-host GitLab.
AWS — Common cloud target for test infra + service integration testing.
Azure — Common in enterprise / Microsoft-shop QA roles.

Programming languages

Python — Popular for API testing, data validation, and Playwright/Pytest suites.

Domain & process

Performance testing (JMeter / k6 / LoadRunner) — Different discipline from functional QA — expect scenario and metrics questions.
Agile / Scrum — You'll be expected to describe how you fit QA into short iterations.
Test management (Jira / Zephyr / TestRail) — Process fluency — writing test cases, tracing coverage, and reporting defects.
