Testing new features and ensuring robust regression testing are the main job duties. Automated testing will be a heavy focus and there will only be minimal need to do manual testing. You'll partner with the Business Analyst, the Product Manager, and the developers to understand the business requirements and test that the completed work meets those requirements. You'll use your creativity to think of ways to stretch the product to its limits and to test all the different ways users might interact with the product.

Special note: this role and this specific team will not be doing AI-based development work. Other engineering teams at Pearson are working on the AI capabilities that power the Item Assist product.
