• Pytest Proficiency: Extensive experience with Python and modern testing tools like Pytest and Selenium for writing and maintaining test cases and automation frameworks.
• Development Practices: Proficiency in Git, command line interface (CLI) tools, and contemporary development methodologies, including agile and test-driven development.

• Automation Skills: Proven track record of setting up, maintaining, and optimizing test automation environments.
• CI/CD Experience: Familiarity with Jenkins and/or other CI/CD pipelines and tools, and the ability to integrate automated tests.
• Diagnostic Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities and proficiency in debugging and root cause analysis.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills for effective collaboration with development teams and internal customers.
• Remote Collaboration: Effective at working in a remote environment, experienced in using collaboration tools like Slack and Zoom.

Preferred Experience

• Familiarity with networking protocols (IPv4/6, VLANs, VPNs, BGP, etc.) and router/switch configuration or infrastructure automation is highly advantageous.
• Experience with using and testing Terraform.
