What You Will Do:
The focus of this role is improving our cost-of-mistake curve by scaling our testing via automation. You don’t have to be an enterprise developer, but comfort with multiple programming languages will be extremely useful. However, you will also have to be someone who recognizes the tradeoffs when turning tests into code.You are a test thinker first, automation engineer second.

You will have much freedom to define this role if you show you have the skills to implement it. High self-initiative and self-motivation is required for this role as you will be tasked with implementing without waiting for approval for every decision. If you have a public code repository, share it with us! Tell us about one of your projects that you're most excited about or proud of. (It doesn’t have to be automation related.)
