Why join us

Join DSV’s Global IT, building next-generation Enterprise Products across Supply Chain, Data, and Platform capabilities. We work in cross‑functional platform & product teams with a flat hierarchy and collaborative culture. Principles: We learn fast, design for scale, build pragmatically, and treat quality as a team sport.

The impact you’ll have

You will define and evolve the platform-wide testing vision and architecture, embedding quality early and ensuring pipelines deliver reliable, actionable signals. Expect measurable improvements in release confidence, defect escape rate, and delivery speed.

What You’ll Do

Platform-wide test architecture & automation strategy

• Own and evolve the platform-wide test architecture to ensure scalability, maintainability, and seamless CI/CD integration.
• Define and communicate the testing vision and roadmap, including overall automation strategy and architecture.
• Select and govern automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright + TypeScript, Rest Assured), promoting reusable components and patterns across teams.
• Establish platform-wide standards and guidelines for test policies, templates, test data management, environment configuration, and observability metrics (e.g., flakiness, coverage, duration).
• Ensure alignment with platform architecture, security, and compliance requirements in all testing practices.
• Oversee cross-team testing strategies for end-to-end, integration, and performance testing.
• Balance manual and automated approaches, ensuring manual efforts contribute to future automation.
• Support release governance by defining quality gates, readiness criteria, and sign-off processes in partnership with Release and DevOps teams.

Shift-left & enablement

• Champion shift-left principles, embedding testing early in the development lifecycle.
• Act as a technical advisor on automation design, contract testing, and quality engineering.
• Facilitate knowledge sharing and training on testing tools, frameworks, and best practices.

Strategic governance

• Define platform‑wide policies, templates, and guidelines; balance manual vs. automated approaches (manual fuels future automation).
• Oversee cross‑team strategies for end‑to‑end, integration, and performance testing.
• Support release governance: quality gates, readiness criteria, and test sign‑off in partnership with Release/DevOps.

Collaboration & continuous improvement

• Partner with Platform Owners, Product Owners, Architects, QA Engineers, and the Test CoE to harmonize standards.
• Provide functional leadership and mentorship to QA Engineers across 3 product teams.
• Define and monitor platform-level quality metrics (defect density, automation health, coverage) and drive improvements.
• Lead root cause analysis for quality issues and promote a problem‑solving mindset.

CI/CD integration & quality signals

• Integrate automated tests into Jenkins; enforce gates, parallelization, and health monitoring with role‑based governance.
• Build automated dashboards (Jira/Xray/TestRail, Confluence) for transparent reporting to stakeholders.

Tech stack & practices

• Automation: Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript) for UI & API; Postman/REST Assured; contract testing (Pact).
• Performance: k6/JMeter (as applicable).
• CI/CD: Azure Devops, Jenkins; containers/Docker.
• ALM/reporting: Jira, Xray, TestRail, Confluence.
• Governance: RBAC, approvals, compliance/security monitoring in pipelines.

What You Bring

• 8+ years in software testing/quality; 5+ years architecting automation at scale.
• Proven experience as a Test Architect or similar senior QA role with extensive knowledge of software testing lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies.
• Deep hands‑on experience with Playwright + TypeScript; strong API/contract testing; CI/CD integration.
• Architecture mindset: standards, patterns, test data/env strategy, observability.
• Collaborative, non‑hierarchical leadership; clear, business‑aware communication.
• Nice‑to‑have: supply chain/TMS or financial domain; performance testing; cloud (Azure/AWS).

What we offer

• Permanent contract
• Private medical care
• English courses - financial or co‑financed by company
