Ideal Candidate:

You should have at least 1.5 years’ experience in automation and a strong handle on JavaScript and JSON. They should have previous experience with testing a client-server architecture specifically via REST and at least 3 years’ experience with mobile application testing, the ability to work and test on Windows and Mac OS, as well as being able to use UNIX CLI. Jenkins or similar CI experience is needed, as well as knowing how to use git or similar VCS.
Strong communication skills and good English are mandatory - they will work with a mostly remote and English-speaking team.
The candidate must be self-motivating and a self-starter, should have the desire to learn more about the stack and new programing paradigms.
The role requires an amount of context switching between personal tasks and/or responding to enquiries coming from various stakeholders about issues, bugs or how the general stack functions, offering solutions to various problems.
The candidate should have the ability to understand code written in other languages at a minimum - Ruby is necessary to be of assistance to the Automation team as a Technical Lead, with advice or help in debugging; Java knowledge is also needed because the legacy Backend Automation Framework is written using it.
Familiarity with Cucumber and writing scenarios in BDD would be nice to have - this item is not mandatory if the candidate has strong coding skills and a REST API testing background.
