Jobbeschreibung

At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have been striving to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers and businesses to grow, discover, and create.

About The Team

The IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate team is responsible for supporting a wide range of enterprise frameworks, data-access stacks, and application servers in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. This includes technologies such as Spring (including Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security, and others), Jakarta EE, Quarkus, Micronaut, various reactive and data-access libraries, and popular application servers like Tomcat, WildFly, and Jetty. We ensure that developers can easily create, configure, run, debug, and observe their backend applications directly from the IDE. As part of the Ultimate QA group, you’ll work across different areas of the product – frameworks, HTTP client, persistence tooling, and application servers – and collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other QA teams to deliver a smooth end-to-end experience for JVM backend developers.

We’re now looking for a QA Automation Engineer to join the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate QA team and help ensure the quality of a product that our customers and software engineers around the world rely on daily. You’ll work alongside QA engineers to design and set up our automation process for end-to-end tests, as well as implement and automate test scenarios that catch issues before they reach our users.

Core responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain multi-platform and environmental (Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker, WSL) automated test scenarios.
• Expand test coverage for new and existing functionality.

• Improve existing automation based on team feedback and reduce test flakiness.
• Track quality metrics, including testing coverage, failure rate, and flakiness.
• Contribute to frameworks and tools with product‑specific extensions as needed.
• Help the team monitor test execution results and investigate failures.
• Participate in release quality assessments.
• Collaborate with QA and developers to define test strategies.
• Do manual QA activities when needed.
• Participate in the test documentation creation.
• Improve domain‑specific test infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines within your team’s scope.
• Share automation best practices with the team.
• Work with the tooling team to adopt new frameworks and practices.
