Job description

.

As a QA Engineer within our Digital Product Innovation team, you'll help bring innovative customer experiences to life in the Albert Heijn app. You'll play a key role in ensuring new mobile features deliver a seamless and reliable experience across iOS and Android. If you're passionate about quality, enjoy combining a strong testing mindset with technical curiosity, and thrive in a fast-paced, innovative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

This is how you will reinvent food retail.

• Execute functional, regression, smoke, integration, and exploratory testing for new innovation features within the Albert Heijn app across iOS and Android devices.
• Translate requirements and acceptance criteria into effective test scenarios, proactively identify defects, and document findings in a clear and reproducible manner.
• Investigate issues beyond the user interface by analyzing application logs, API requests and responses, status codes, and payloads to help pinpoint root causes.
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders from the refinement stage onward, ensuring quality is embedded throughout the development process rather than treated as a final step.
• Act as a quality advocate within the team, contributing to discussions that improve product reliability, usability, and customer experience.
• Support the delivery of innovative customer-facing features by providing timely feedback and helping teams make informed release decisions.

Your new team and office.
The Digital Product Innovation team turns new ideas into products used by millions of customers. From Steijn, our AI-powered assistant, to innovations such as Laatste Kans Koopjes, we're constantly exploring new ways to improve the customer experience within the Albert Heijn app.

You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of frontend and backend developers and a Senior QA Engineer. In this role, you'll primarily focus on mobile testing and work closely with frontend engineers to ensure a seamless and reliable experience across iOS and Android.

Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station Zaandam.

Making room for differences.
We believe that everyone should feel comfortable being themselves and feel welcome and valued at work. We embrace different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds, and actively work to build engaged teams where everyone has the opportunity to contribute. We believe that different perspectives help us make better decisions and achieve better results together.
We look at the talents, knowledge, experience and personality you bring. Don’t meet every requirement but still see yourself in this role? We encourage you to apply. We welcome candidates with different backgrounds and experiences and are curious to hear what you can bring and what you would like to contribute.

The recipe for maximum impact.

• Experience in software testing, with a strong foundation in manual testing;
• Hands‑on experience testing mobile applications on iOS and/or Android;
• Strong knowledge of core testing methodologies, including writing and executing test cases based on acceptance criteria, reporting defects in Jira, and retesting and performing regression testing before release;
• A working understanding of client-server architecture and REST APIs, with the ability to analyse network traffic using tools such as Proxyman;
• A big bonus if you have experience with Postman, mobile test automation tools such as Appium, or CI/CD concepts;
• You communicate findings clearly and proactively build and share product knowledge;
• You enjoy teamwork and making things happen in an Agile environment;
• You're tech savvy, proactive, and have a strong passion for technology.

What we offer.
At Albert Heijn we aim to grow, and this is only possible if you grow along with us. As we work together to build our brand and your career, you can count on (based on 40 hours per week):

• An annual salary up to 71k including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your experience;
• 45 days of paid leave to enjoy your well-deserved holidays: 25,5 regular vacation days and 19,5 ADV days. Enjoy!
• Flexible working hours;
• Access to a challenging training curriculum – AH Tech Academy;
• An excellent pension plan where we as an employer contribute 4,5 more than you as an employee;
• A travel allowance or a NS-business card for traveling to and from Zaandam by train;
• Attractive discounts on various insurance policies;
• 10% staff discount on groceries in all Albert Heijn stores, to a maximum of €300 per year;
• A free Mijn Albert Heijn Premium membership with many benefits;
• A company laptop and telephone.
