Junior Bug Analyst – Entry-Level Quality Assurance Job

Our cross-functional quality group protects user trust for complex, high-traffic platforms in finance, healthcare, retail, and gaming. You will pair with senior testers, product owners, and site reliability engineers who value curiosity, grit, and smart automation.

What You’ll Do  

- Investigate user-reported anomalies across web, mobile, and API layers; isolate the exact steps that trigger each fault.  

- Document defects in JIRA with clear summaries, stack traces, screenshots, and expected/actual behavior.  

- Rate severity and business impact, then negotiate fix priority with engineering leads.  

- Maintain a living bug database—merging duplicates, tracking regressions, verifying closures.  

- Support sprint, regression, and release testing; craft lightweight test charters when requirements shift.  

- Provide fast feedback to designers and developers, encouraging testability and early defect discovery.  

- Continuously learn new tools (Postman, Charles Proxy, SQL, Python snippets) to widen coverage.  

Required Skills  

- Foundation in software development or computer science (BS or equivalent).  

- Proven attention to detail; you spot off-by-one errors before code reaches production.  

- Working knowledge of bug tracking tools—JIRA, Azure DevOps, or equivalent.  

- Ability to write concise reproduction steps that anyone can follow.  

- Solid communication skills; you translate technical details for non-technical partners.  

- Analytical mindset with a habit of questioning assumptions and validating data.  

Nice-to-Have Extras  

- Exposure to Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.  

- Familiarity with SQL queries for data validation.  

- Experience testing RESTful APIs with Postman or similar.  

- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git workflows.  

- Passion for video games, fintech apps, or e-commerce UX—domain knowledge accelerates learning.
