• Inquisitive, ownership-taking, and able to think critically about testing strategies.

Not the Right Fit?
If you've primarily worked in large companies with highly structured environments and detailed specifications, this role may not be for you. Were looking for someone comfortable with a less formal approach, who can engage directly with the development team, think independently, and creatively solve problems.
