• Participate in agile ceremonies, code reviews and release activities as required

Required Key Knowledge Skills/ Experience

• 4+ years in test automation or data engineering, with hands-on data pipeline testing experience

• Strong Python and SQL; able to write production quality test code, not only scripts
