Remote: USA

Type:Long Term Contract (Part of a SOW of ongoing work with no end in sight)

• We are looking for True Coders and Developers, who love to build/automate things the RIGHT way the first time. We are looking for likeminded developers who want to build something to Last (more upfront work in automation) but building an application that doesn't require much maintenance with time**.

Automation Project Overview:Automating Test Scripts for Various Banking / Financial Services Projects that may be greenfield development projects where you control the SDLC in house as well as supporting 3 rd party out of the box software applications that was highly customized both internally or externally (which requires crafty solutions to automate when you don't own the entire code - and you are the developer to figure out how to automate. EX- if you're used to pinging an internal developer to create a locator for you in the application to automate easier - this isn't the project for you. We are looking for someone with a developer mindset.

While this application is our ownership to Automation - it is Key that we build something turnkey to hand off for their internal teams to maintain long term.

Each project QA supports will have a QA Lead (project manager of test working at Project level - not hands on testing) as well as Manual Testers.
