• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers

Preferred:
