Methodology & Soft Skills Agile Familiarity: Understanding of Scrum ceremonies (Daily, Sprint Planning, Retrospective). Attention to Detail: Precision in following instructions and documenting evidence. Proactivity: Courage to ask questions and seek feedback to accelerate the learning curve. Key Expectations Speed of Learning: Rapidly pick up the automation framework's "boiler plate" code to begin contributing scripts within the first few sprints. Reliability: Ensure that manual execution is thorough and that no obvious "happy path" defects reach the next stage. Adaptability: Ability to switch between testing a modern web interface and validating a legacy system output with a positive attitude. Teamwork: Collaborate effectively with developers to understand how a specific feature was built. Preferred Technical and Professional Experience Familiarity with test frameworks like Selenium, Protractor etc. Use of scripting languages like Python, Perl, PowerShell, and Java script to create scripts rapidly that can integrate into the testing stage within a pipeline Use of Test-Driven Development (TDD), SDLC, and Agile software development practices Being You The “Kyn” in Kyndryl means kinship, which represents the strong bonds we have with each other, our customers and our communities.
