Test Engineer

Great assignments await you with our key account clients in rich and varied environments

We are looking for an Expert Test Engineer with a mandatory 10+ years of experience, capable of designing, implementing, and operating a comprehensive testing strategy within a modern cloud-native environment based on APIs, microservices, DevOps, CI/CD, observability, and Zero Trust principles.

The role is strongly hands-on.

• Validate business logic implemented within APIs and microservices.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to observability, monitoring, logging, and quality controls.
• Support Agile teams throughout the entire delivery lifecycle.
• Provide technical recommendations and propose alternative solutions when required.
• Promote Continuous Testing and Quality Engineering best practices.
• Actively contribute to sprint activities such as planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and demonstrations.
• Continuously evaluate and adopt new tools, technologies, and testing practices.

Your activities:

• Develop and continuously improve the testing roadmap and test approach.
• Create and maintain Agile operational test plans.
