7. Facilitate engagement between the functional areas of the business
8. Manage releases to Production on a rota basis
9. Not be afraid to fail, but fail fast, reflect and improve
What you'll bring:
10. Knowledge of functional and non-functional test approaches
11. Experience of exploratory testing
12. Knowledge of good web performance practices
13. Strong experience testing web-based applications
14. Solid SQL and database knowledge

17. Knowledge of testing frameworks (e.g. xUnit, Selenium WebDriver)
18. Experience of testing RESTful APIs using Postman (or similar)
19. Some exposure to cloud-based services (e.g. AWS, Azure)
20. Experience of working with Agile teams
Join a team that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
