Who we think would be a fit:
We are looking for someone who not only loves building high quality software, but is also passionate about getting stuff done. You might have worked at large top name companies, but you prefer small nimble companies with tight knit cross-functional teams that focus on getting stellar products to market quickly.

- Are comfortable with testing Service-oriented architecture (SOA), microservices, and REST APIs, as well as functional, systems integration, and browser compatibility testing
- Can picture both the technical and business objectives and challenges when you read high level requirements
- Know various test frameworks like the back of your hand and choose which ones to use based on the project or objective at hand, not just because one is popular at the moment
