- Strong communication skills — able to report status to leadership and coordinate with engineering, product, and program management

Preferred Qualifications

- Exposure to Kubernetes-based deployment pipelines and CI/CD tooling as they relate to test environment readiness

- Experience testing e-commerce catalog, checkout, or payment flows (cart, checkout, payments, account/profile)
