The manual testing is quite complex, including deployment on Linux environments etc. It is a fully Agile team, you will be working with the product owners and software engineers daily and become an integral part of the software team.

They have a couple of roles and will take on people with either with a couple of years of software testing experience, but have that drive to learn or fully-fledged Software tester who is still passionate about software testing but wants to work with the latest technologies and progress to more senior levels
