# THE OPPORTUNITY

Describe the ideal candidate here.

All of the GaragePlug product modules have critical workflows, and the new developers need to be more confident and fearless about making changes in the system. This will help to deliver products faster to the customers while building more robust products.

We have developed an in-house framework for manually testing the features/product before the launch. This has helped us to catch more than 1000 bugs before releasing the feature in production.

Think of this as the backbone that will help engineers from the product team to automate critical workflows and coordinate bug bashes for all the product teams. Your understanding of functional testing, writing maintainable tests, written and verbal communication skills will be put to the test.

# WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

### **Within 1st month**
