4. Keep the wider team including the Product Owner, up to date with the test progress including any risk-based assessments undertaken and raise any issues when relevant.
5. You'll be surrounded by some amazing people and working in one of the best cultures that you can find.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of the QA process, and experience in defining and implementing test designs.

You'll also have the following:

1. Excellent written and oral communication skills, strong problem-solving & collaborative skills.
2. Experienced in API testing and tools (e.g. Postman).
3. Experience in Functional or System Integration Testing.
4. Hands-on experience in using automated testing frameworks (e.g, Cucumber, JUnit).
5. Knowledge of Stubbing frameworks such as Wiremock.
6. Understanding Non-Functional, Load or Performance testing.
7. Experience using JIRA, Confluence or any backlog or test management tooling.
8. Strong experience of iterative / incremental software delivery.
9. Maintaining and executing automated testing cycles.
10. Experience/Understanding of Git or other repositories.
11. Knowledge of Agile.

Your security clearance

Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
