— drive a QA mindset and champion quality within the squad that you are in;
— work within our model, Agile software development. For these roles you’ll need experience in Agile practice such as BDD.

As a consultant and as a binding part between engineers and our clients you are expected to develop expertise both in technology and the means to communicate complex concepts and rationale to non-techies. We’ll encourage and support this with frequent opportunities to share ideas internally. We also have consultants who frequently deliver at regional, national and global conferences.
