• Conduct code reviews, and help improve and maintain quality of the application and testing code
• Contribute to active testing and the design, development and maintenance of test automation frameworks, infrastructure and tools
• Ensure that automation frameworks, tools and infrastructure are documented

About you:

• Minimum 8 years of work experience in a dedicated testing role
• Dynamic personality that can explore, learn fast, chart a course and act quickly
• Fast learner, good communicator and collaborator
• Strong understanding of testing practices and quality processes in an agile environment
• Strong understanding of structured programming languages such as Java or Python
• Solid experience with testing frameworks such as Junit or Pytest (4 years minimum)
• Solid experience in performance testing with tools such as Gatling or Locust (3 years minimum)
