- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, as exemplified by clear bug/issue explanations, documentation of knowledge, and effective intra- and inter-group communications
- Experience in short release cycles, the full software lifecycle, and have worked on a product that was actually released for public consumption

- Strong knowledge of Database interface and SQL
- Experience with shell/perl scripting
- Experience in multi-platform testing (Windows, UNIX, LINUX)
- Experience with load testing tools such as SilkPerformer or LoadRunner
- Solid knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, Java and XML/SOAP
