Manager who will be conducting the interviews shared that he is looking for:
“Experience in Manual and Automated testing of Client Server and Web Applications...”
Drilling down to the details is important for us since we do not segregate manual and automated testing. We expect the successful candidate to excel at both.
Extensive experience in Azure DevOps Tool
Expertise in Backend API Automation in Java Language
Strong knowledge of the UiPath platform and its components (UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, Robots, etc.)
When there is no mention of experience with non-relational databases in the resume such as MongoDB, DynamoDB, Cassandra, etc. is not a “deal breaker” but our backend technology is based on MongoDB so it would be preferable the candidate was comfortable with that technology.
We will be enhancing our mobile testing capabilities in 1Q25 so any experience in Mobile Application Testing is a major plus.
Other skills that are must-haves are:
Excellent communication skills. I understand this has become somewhat of an empty boilerplate statement tossed into resumes meaning little, but the role we are filling is not a purely technical one. It will require face-to-face interactions with Business and Systems Analysts, Developers, Project Managers and other team members. The candidate will need to communicate effectively across a wide range of interactions and channels.
Flexibility. Again, an overused word but an important skill for this role. The candidate will be operating in a very dynamic environment as we continue to shift our delivery methodologies from strict waterfall, through a hybrid style and ultimately more agile-like.
