Internal Sizzle (Project/Initiative + Why the role is open/Team Size)

The new REQ is for a team called CEC-UX, which is similar to my previous REQ for AgentEx in terms of technologies (Salesforce, WebDriverIO for automated testing).

I'm looking for someone who wants to primarily do automated testing. The engineering team of CECUX is made up of 7 developers and 2 testers (QE). I'm moving one of the two QE's currently on CECUX to a different team and need to backfill them. The QE who is staying on the team is the SME and will handle the majority of the manual testing work.

I need someone who can get up to speed very quickly on the existing automated tests, so I'm targeting specific skills/exp this time.

I think a candidate can get up to speed quickly if they have the following:

1. Has experience with automated testing using WebDriverIO (2+ years)

2. Has experience using WebDriverIO for automating Salesforce (1+ year)

*If a candidate has strong WebDriverIO and Salesforce knowledge, but has never used WebDriverIO for automating Salesforce specifically, that would be acceptable (but not ideal)

There are no location or immigration requirements for this position.

Client Sizzle (Why might someone want to work here?)

Culture is HUGE. One of the questions they ask is what do you do in your spare time. They really want diverse people that are easy to get along with.
