Requirements

6+ Years in QA Engineering: Deep focus on Backend and API/Microservices testing (REST, JSON, gRPC); 2+ Years in VoIP / SIP Protocol Testing: Call flow verification, media stream validation, WebRTC, or telecom load tools; SIP Tracing & System Diagnostics: Strong command of Linux CLI and SIP tracing instruments (e.g., Hepic, CP Tools, tcpdump); English Proficiency: Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher (written and spoken)
