- Collaborate with engineering, product, sales and customer success leadership to define priorities and set delivery goals.

# **WHAT AN IDEAL CANDIDATE WOULD LOOK LIKE**

- We use Spring-boot microservices for backend and Angular 2+/Ionic 3+ for frontend. We prefer someone with experience in selenium, but it is not necessary. You must have experience of working with testing frameworks like selenium, tools, or SaaS products for functional testing like [cypress.io](https://cypress.io/).
- Dedicated to testing. While testing can sometimes get repetitive and monotonous, it is critical to our engineering efforts.

- **Blackbox Testing:** Be prepared to answer some simulation-based questions during our interviews. From writing the requirements for a test case to planning & executing test plans on the GaragePlug platform, watch out for some hard-hitting questions.
- **Culture Round:** Understand if your values and beliefs fit in with your company’s culture. Be yourself. This is for both sides to evaluate if we're a cultural fit for each other.
- **Founder Round:** Discussion with both the founders of the company. This round helps us evaluate how we both can mutually benefit each other.

# **WHY JOIN US**

- **Freedom & Responsibility:** If you are a person who wants to take up challenging work & push your boundaries with no one monitoring you, then this is the right place for you. There are no hierarchies. No managers to please.
