Agentic Automation Test Engineer

Ready to leverage your innovative expertise to drive the transition from traditional cloud to autonomous AI platforms? Are you ambitious, equipped with razor-sharp analytical skills, and eager to build the indispensable foundation that our AI and data teams depend on? Do you thrive when given a high degree of autonomy? If so, we are looking for you!

Your Contribution to the Adventure

The rise of AI coding tools is changing the software world at breakneck speed: writing code is becoming cheaper and faster, leading to exponential growth in the volume of code we produce. However, more code also means a larger test surface. To prevent our development velocity from stalling over the question, "can we confidently deploy this to production?", we need you. You will become the owner of our automated testing platform and CI infrastructure, ensuring our teams can continue to release at maximum speed.

What does this entail?

• System & Architecture: This is not a role where you will simply click through test cases or manually verify code. Your output is the system and the architecture behind the tests. You will design the test framework, manage the test data lifecycle, and build a stable, cross-team smoke suite that spans our markets in NL, BE, DK, and DE.
• Tech-Lead & Coaching: Additionally, you are a true tech-lead and sparring partner. You will coach and support teams in writing their own local E2E tests within your platform.
• Execution & Communication: You are driven by execution and communication: you collaborate seamlessly with colleagues like Joke and Pasha to translate their exploratory testing insights into rock-solid automated regression coverage.
• Autonomous Future: In doing so, you calibrate the confidence within our transition toward fully autonomous product development.
