What We Are Looking For:

• Extensive experience with applying QA within agile (lower case a) delivery.
• A fast-learner with self-drive, initiative and inquisitiveness that can pick up a task or project and drive it relentlessly to completion.
• Comprehensive experience with testing tools / frameworks like Postman, Cucumber, Playwright or Katalon.
• Productive in one or two scripting languages and/or testing frameworks.

• An agile mindset with the ability to work in a transparent and collaborative manner.
