You'll be passionate about delivering high quality products and services, keeping a focus on our customers. You'll build strong business relationships and communicate in a clear, concise manner. You'll have excellent analytical skills and able to work methodically with a high level of attention to detail.

What you'll need:

• Basic understanding of PEGA Architecture and supporting infrastructure.
• Experience in creating automated tests using automation tools such as Playwright or equivalent.
• Understanding of BDD framework with Cucumber and in writing step definition using Gherkin based features and script refactoring.
• Knowledge of programming languages such as Javascript or Typescript or equivalent.
• Clear Communication - both written and verbal, familiar with communicating with business partners.
• Great teammate with good collaboration skills, with a willingness to improve your knowledge and experience.
• Growth Mindset - keen desire to learn and develop further.
• Comfortable participating in workshops.

And any experience of these would be really useful:

• Agile experience.
• Experience of JIRA/Confluence.
