  • You have a good understanding of the importance of well-organized codebase and documentation.
  • You have the capability of implementing unit, integration, end-to-end and load tests.
  • You have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Business Informatics or equivalency in relevant work experience.
