About You
- You are curious. You like to understand how things work. You ask lots of questions and keep digging until you are satisfied with the answers. You like to experiment and make sure that theory and practice align.
- You are detail-oriented. You pay attention to the little things. You catch typos on documentation and can tell that a label is misaligned by a few pixels. You are organized and productive.
- You are a self-starter. You are motivated. You are a problem solver. Missing requirements are not going to stop you from validating a working application. You can put your previous experience to work and fill in the gaps.
- You are a go-getter. You are resourceful, flexible, and driven. You understand that priorities and plans change and that the path forward is not always a straight line. You can adapt to the changing landscape and use the challenges as opportunities to learn new things.
- You are a problem-solver. You use your technical and testing background to analyze issues, review logs, and get to the root cause of the issue. There’s always a JS Console or a log being tailed tucked away on your screen. You’re always a script away from getting the data you need.
- You are a quick learner. As a person you love to build new skills and learn new subject matter. You relish the idea of applying your skills to other facets of your life outside of work. Learning is a constant for you, where any problem without an immediate solution is just an opportunity to grow and master something new.
