A Tester who feels strong with SQL. The Tester should be dedicated to
best practices and documentation and will be a process champion. The
position is in our Consumer web site and it is fast-paced. We need
someone who is flexible enough to juggle but strong enough to stop and
negotiate because they will not "just get it done" ignoring the
process. This team is still in Waterfall but has brought some AGILE
steps in to help them along and they're on a weekly release cycle.
Ideally this candidate has done both and can work with me to recommend
better ways to smooth this process out even more.

Communication skills and enthusiasm for the position are critical, as
well as strong SQL skills. The SQL skills should include complex joins
(inner & outer).

ProtoTest is an equal opportunity Employer.
