• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Java, Python, C#).
• Hands‑on experience with test automation tools (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, JUnit/TestNG, PyTest).
• Familiarity with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
• Knowledge of performance testing tools (JMeter, Gatling) and security testing utilities (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite).
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum development cycles.
• Experience with Test‑Driven Development (TDD) and Behaviour‑Driven Development (BDD).
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Clear written and verbal communication; ability to convey technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset with a proactive attitude towards continuous improvement.
• All new hires are appointed on a two‑year contract in the first instance and will be assessed and considered for permanent tenure over time, based on performance.
