The Role

You will assist in defining quality controls and be capable of debugging and testing the end-to-end value stream. You will be working in the local Streamline development team, which enjoys a significant degree of autonomy and considers testability at the core of its solution set; you will also be influencing the adoption of solutions across the entire enterprise.
