  • Have experience testing REST/GraphQL APIs and know how to increase coverage of tests within the API layer

  • Appreciate the pivotal role test data architecture plays in robust automated test implementations
  • Are autonomous and can think of and contribute structural improvements/fixes to test tooling and processes

  • Great English communication skills (this is a must)
