- You work independently, carefully, and with a solution-oriented approach.
- Background in QA, software testing, technical business analysis, or software development.

Experience
- You’re familiar with REST APIs and have hands-on experience testing endpoints, analyzing responses, and validating data.

- Build > Talk: Try early, get it wrong early, learn early.
- High standards, low ego: We give direct feedback and work together openly and respectfully.
- Professional development: Use hackathons, conferences, and community exchanges to expand your expertise.
