Descripción de la vacante

SIX is building a new team to shape AI-driven software engineering. You will create guardrails for agentic development, including test automation, coverage enforcement, and independent review layers to ensure code quality at scale.

You will own the AI agent harness, define test strategies for AI-driven SDLC, and drive adoption while maintaining fast, safe paths for engineers. Hybrid work and substantial holidays are offered.

Formación

• 6+ years in software engineering with hands-on expertise in test automation.
• Hands-on familiarity with agentic AI architectures and harness design.
• Deep knowledge of test methodology, coverage, mutation testing, and quality gates.

Responsabilidades

• Build test automation as a platform capability across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers.
• Operate the AI agent harness with sandboxing, CI/CD integration, and traceable decision logs.
• Own the independent review layer for AI-generated code and tests within CI/CD.
• Define and evolve the test strategy for an AI-driven SDLC and data handling.
• Treat test automation and guardrails as a product, measuring adoption and trust.

Descripción del empleo

Agentic AI is changing how software gets built — and at SIX, it will touch the work of more than thousand engineers. We're building a new team at the center of this shift, responsible for shaping how AI-driven software engineering works across the company. As part of this team, you will build the guardrails that make agentic development trustworthy at scale: the test automation, coverage enforcement, and independent review layers that let AI agents write and ship code without compromising quality.

What You Will Do

Agentic AI is changing how software gets built — and at SIX, it will touch the work of more than thousand engineers. We're building a new team at the center of this shift, responsible for shaping how AI-driven software engineering works across the company. As part of this team, you will build the guardrails that make agentic development trustworthy at scale: the test automation, coverage enforcement, and independent review layers that let AI agents write and ship code without compromising quality.

What You Will Do

• build test automation as a platform capability, not a project. Agent-driven test generation and maintenance, coverage enforcement on changed lines, flaky-test detection and self-healing, mutation testing, and test-suite health (redundancy, gaps, execution time) across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers.
• build and operate the AI agent harness. The sandboxed execution environment, tool/permission scoping, and CI/CD integration that lets agents propose, test, and merge code, instrumented with decision logs and action provenance so every agentic change is traceable and reproducible.
• own the independent review layer for AI-generated code and tests: correctness, coverage, and quality gates in CI/CD that verify what an agent produces using tooling the agent doesn't control, so speed never comes at the cost of test quality or code health.
• define and evolve the test strategy for an AI-driven SDLC. What gets tested where, how test data is generated and managed, and how test quality is measured (not just pass/fail, but whether the tests catch regressions).
• treat test automation and guardrails as a product, not a gate. Instrument for adoption, false-positive rate, and developer trust, keeping the safe, well-tested path the fastest path.

What You Bring

• 6+ years in software engineering with deep, hands-on expertise in test automation. Ideally a software/platform engineer in test, with a track record of building tooling or developer infrastructure that other engineering teams adopted, not just writing test suites.
• hands‑on familiarity with agentic AI architectures. Agent orchestration, tool‑use/sandboxing, and harness design, not just conceptual awareness of "AI in the SDLC."
• deep knowledge of test methodology and code quality: test pyramids, coverage strategy, mutation testing, flaky-test remediation, and what makes a test suite trustworthy versus just green.
• platform-product mindset. You build reusable capabilities and pave roads for other engineers, and you measure and strive for adoption and impact across SIX's business units.
• working knowledge of governance and controls in a regulated or high-assurance setting. Financial market infrastructure experience is a plus, but adjacent regulated-industry background is a plus. A pragmatic, collaborative bias toward quality and automation.

What We Offer

• Hybrid model up to 40% working from home
• 37,5 hours/week with flexible schedule and 29+2 holidays
• Daily meal allowance
• Additional Medical Insurance for employee and family
• Pension fund
• Access to technical and language learning platforms
• Free parking spots, charger spots and shuttle bus
