Contract: W2 AND C2C

Location: Reston, VA

Duration: Long Term

Must have: Python, Pyspark, Sql, AWS

Only USC, H4EAD

Need a senior SDET with the following skills:  

·Strong UI testing with angular and selenium experience

·Looking more from testing perspective so good if they understand angular, doesn’t think they need to be able to write angular / typescripts, more so from a testing perspective

·Important for them to understand a web app in a browser

·Strong experience testing java applications including backend testing

·Strong DB/sql skills

·Intermediate AWS knowledge

·Experience with load testing strategy

·Were looking at using jmeter or something like that for their load testing because you can stimulate load / gather statistics at the API level – current approach but doesn't know if that’s going to be the long term solution, know other testers build their own homegrown tools

·Jmeter experience is a plus

·AWS services / tools they are using?

·ECS, S3, lambdas, RDS, eventbridge, CloudWatch, step functions

·Python experience

·Coding from scratch for the purpose of automation, selenium scripts in Python

·Python have quite a bit of java already in their environment – team has another asset in python so it would be a nice to have

·Interview process? Any interviews happen yet?

·Typically only done question based interviews – for developers, may do a little quiz though

·Definitely want a technical tester because of the automation part

·Have a UI but have multiple rest services so want to be able to test those directly, whether that be jmeter or a different tool because they want to do performance testing as well

Prior Fannie experience always a plus but not required – will help them understand the underlying data more quickly

SQL skills important too since application is essentially a SQL generator so that’s a big requirement
