Job description

As a Test Automation Engineer (m/f/d), you will be responsible for building and maintaining automated tests that ensure the reliability and performance of our web-based software products.

You will work closely with developers and product teams to integrate testing directly into the development workflow and help deliver stable, high-quality releases.

This role is highly hands-on, with a strong emphasis on writing code for automation rather than managing test processes or documentation-heavy workflows.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

  • Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for web applications (UI, API, and integration levels)
  • Collaborate with developers to ensure testability and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines
  • Analyze test results, debug failures, and help identify root causes
  • Contribute to test strategy and tooling decisions with a pragmatic, engineering-driven mindset
  • Continuously improve test reliability, execution speed, and maintainability
  • Perform targeted manual or exploratory testing when automation is not sufficient, * We believe in the power of combined efforts: straightforward tech expertise paired with a customer-centric focus.
  • We are industry pioneers who are ambitious, bold, and visionary.
  • We push limits, think outside-the-box and strive for technological excellence to shape the future of aerial data.
  • We promise to be your runway for individual and professional growth.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in test automation or software engineering
  • Strong programming skills (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with modern automation tools such as:
  • Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar
  • Solid understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, browser behavior, APIs) Nice to Have:

  • Experience testing REST APIs and working with tools like Postman or similar
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
  • Basic frontend development experience (React, Angular, Vue, or similar)
  • Experience with test architecture/design patterns (Page Object Model, fixtures, etc.) Ability to debug issues across the stack (frontend backend
  • test code)
  • Knowledge of performance or load testing
