Ihre Aufgaben

We're building an AI-powered HR tech platform with multiple microservices, a modern frontend, and complex backend integrations. Quality isn't an afterthought - we build it into the development process. You'll help us do that systematically.

 * Build and maintain our E2E test suite (Playwright) across multiple services
 * API and contract testing between our microservices (TypeScript, Python)
 * Define and implement test strategies: unit, integration, E2E - embedded in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
 * Quality assurance for AI-powered features: automated pipelines, structured outputs, data-driven components
 * Collaborate closely with development teams so tests are created early - not as an afterthought
 * Build test reporting and regression monitoring
