Employment type: Full-time

Seniority level: Associate

Zertificon develops B2B software solutions for secure digital communication – made in Germany, GDPR‑compliant, and without mandatory cloud usage.

Our customers: businesses, energy providers, public authorities.

Tired of marketing fluff? So are we. This is why we like to keep our job descriptions short and sweet, telling you just the most important aspects of the position for you to make an informed decision whether to apply for this role.

Our products: software solutions for email encryption and digital signatures, secure file transfers, and market communication for energy companies.

We’ve been in the market for over 20 years and employ well over 100 people from 30 different nations.

Now we’re looking for you to…

Join us as a Senior Test Automation Engineer and be the driving force behind a flawless software. Rapidly develop cutting‑edge automation tests to elevate our test coverage, ensuring no regression slips through with every new feature release. Measure and enhance our software’s performance regularly, and be the guardian of quality and excellence our customers deserve. Your expertise will be crucial in delivering robust, reliable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and execute cutting‑edge automated software tests, complete with error analysis, assessments, and detailed documentation
• Ensure comprehensive test coverage by testing existing features incrementally and new features in parallel with implementation
• Step in with precise manual tests when automated testing isn’t enough
• Collaborate closely with developers and fellow test engineers to devise and implement effective testing strategies
• Identify, report, and track defects, working hand‑in‑hand with development teams for swift resolution
• Generate clear and insightful test reports, metrics, and documentation to keep stakeholders informed and up‑to‑date

Why Zertificon?

• Independent & committed: For over 20 years, we’ve built secure communication tools – as an owner‑managed company with a clear stance
• Purpose‑driven: We believe that digital communication must be secure and free. If you think Edward Snowden did the right thing as a whistleblower, we might just share the same values. As a sign of our support, we donate €1,000 to an organization that supports Edward Snowden for every new hire who mentions him in their application
• Hands‑on excellence: We take on complex challenges because we can. Our in‑house experts are top‑tier – even external specialists often learn from us. When we want the best, we build it ourselves
• Agile by conviction: We think fast, act pragmatically, and improve continuously. No bloated processes, no “that’s just how it’s always been done.” Initiative is welcome – but of course, it will be challenged, and not every idea will make it through unchallenged
• Security that works: We build software that’s not only secure, but actually usable – not just for large enterprises with dedicated highly skilled IT teams, but also for small and mid‑sized businesses that need strong security without the complexity
• Diverse & international: Our team of 120 people from 30+ countries shares one mission: making secure digital communication easily accessible to businesses of all sizes

If that resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
