You are passionate about building rock solid software. Now is your chance to do so whilst shaping the future of AI in software testing. This is a role for someone who wants to combine deep technical expertise with the opportunity to redefine how modern software testing is done in an AI-driven environment. Unlike traditional organisations where testing is seen as secondary, engineers in software testing are seen as critical to the next phase of this organisation's technology function. You will be joining a company that invests heavily in AI, giving you the chance to work on cutting-edge solutions to complex engineering challenges, like designing frameworks for evaluating large language models, validating AI-driven features, and making sure they are reliable and secure.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the end-to-end of software testing projects within a platform team, supporting dozens of other engineering teams across the organisation.
• Bring software engineering excellence into testing, working with backend languages such as Kotlin, Java, or Go, and drive full automation across the stack.
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineering leaders, shaping solutions that will have an impact far beyond your own team.

Qualifications

• Strong background in software engineering, ideally with a JVM-based language, with the ability to both write and evaluate clean, maintainable code.
• Solid understanding of modern testing and QA practices and frameworks, with experience in automation.
• Curiosity about AI tools and their testing challenges.
• Collaborative mindset, joining a diverse, international team that thrives on openness and trust.
• Experience in backend development languages such as Kotlin, Java, or Go.

Environment

The team works remotely, with offices across Germany for in-person meetups, team building and collaboration when required.
