What we are looking for

• Experience testing web applications and RESTful APIs.

• Ability to ‘come up to speed’ quickly with new products and their supporting systems.

• Experience with testing tools like Postman, RestAssured, Selenium, Cucumber or JBehave.

• Productive in one or two scripting languages and/or testing tools.

• Demonstrated technical capability (such as reading code, exploring a relational database).

• Experience with JavaScript, Java, C++ or similar programming languages, JIRA, Confluence, Git, Continuous integration tools.
