• Introduce new tools and carry out POCs to drive our test suite forward.
• Provide coaching and support to junior QA's in the team.

Requirements:

• Strong technical background
• Analytical and methodical approach
• Ability to learn quickly and hit the ground running
• Considerable experience with Selenium, Cypress, Cucumber and JMeter
• Experience of testing Web Applications, Web Services and Microservices
• Knowledge of good practices and design patterns in test code

• Experience writing clear and concise test plans and test cases
• Experience working within a development team in an agile environment

• Experience working with Git based source control systems

Desirable:
