• Knowledge of architectural patterns used to build modern web and mobile applications.

• Practical experience of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery.

• Coaching teams in use of continuous testing and shift left/shift right approaches.

• Thinking critically about engineering approaches, using questioning techniques to lead team discussions about quality risks and appropriate responses.

• Leading elaboration activities (such as three amigos sessions) to ensure specificity, consistency and testability.

• Reading and writing coded solutions for a variety of engineering needs:

  • pairing with developers to understand and jointly enhance unit, functional and other coded tests
