Requirements

• Comfortable working in a Linux/Unix environment; basic command-line proficiency.
• Experience writing or reading scripts in at least one language (Python, JavaScript, Bash, or similar).
• Familiarity with REST APIs - understanding HTTP requests, status codes, and constructing simple API calls using Postman, curl, or a test library.

• Ability to track multiple work streams simultaneously and communicate status clearly.
• Some exposure to CI/CD pipelines - understanding where tests fit in the build process.

• Document as you go, ensuring test cases and notes are useful to others.
• Ask questions early rather than make assumptions late.
