• Collaborate with development teams to understand how development changes affect ongoing automation efforts

• Work as part of a scrum team in an agile environment

• Experience using open source tools like Git and Jenkins

• Proven automation experience with Selenium Webdriver

• Skilled in analyzing feature requests/requirements, and determining potential tests that should be created

• Ability to learn new technologies, tools, and processes quickly
