• Collaborate with other developers, engineers, and stakeholders in an agile environment.
• Build scalable and maintainable applications using AWS serverless technologies.

What the Client is Looking For:

• Proven experience with test automation and frameworks
• Agile working practices

Desirable Skills:

• Familiarity with Angular, CDK/Terraform, Cypress, and GDS standards
• Experience in BDD and feature-based testing

Please note: This is not a suitable role for candidates whose experience is primarily or exclusively in testing.
