The team is responsible for enabling secure access to business portals and associated services.

The Senior Software Test Engineer will help ensure quality, security, release readiness, and platform stability for B2B IAM applications. This role requires hands-on experience in test engineering, test automation, full-stack application validation, security patch validation, release support, and production-like environment troubleshooting.
