  • To produce clear, structured, and useful documentation including test cases, test plans, test approach, and time estimates
  • Collaborate with the teams to facilitate development of stable and robust software
  • Gain greater understanding of software and tools used by the team

 

You’ll be reporting into the Development Manager as well as working closely internally with  the wider Digital team and IT team.

  • Excellent written and oral communications
  • The ability to produce clear, concise, and logical documentation in appropriate detail for business users, software developers and the IT Team
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise tasks
  • Self-motivated – able to work effectively remotely

 

Desirable

  • ISEB/ISTQB Qualification
  • Working knowledge of both Kubernetes and Helm
  • Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
