You can explain technical risks, test strategies, and failure modes clearly to developers, product stakeholders, and non-specialists. * An eye for detail, a tad of perfectionism, a can-do mentality, and the courage to take on new challenges * A mindset of curiosity and excellence * Positive vibes and desire to contribute to a productive and collegial working environment Nice to haves * Experience with networked audio or real-time network protocols is highly valuable, especially AES67, Ravenna, Dante, RTP, PTP, multicast, or related technologies. * Experience with spatial audio technologies. * Experience testing multi-channel audio systems or large-scale professional audio installations. ## Description As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test in this team, you will partner closely with software engineers and product designers to define test strategies, build automation, and validate complex workflows across desktop applications, audio plugins, networked audio systems, and spatial audio features. You will develop automated, scalable test frameworks, explore test infrastructure, and increase confidence in release cycles. You will work on both black-box and white-box testing approaches, depending on the problem: from backend-driven end-to-end tests to signal-analysis-based tests, UI validation, and system-level regression tests. You will help integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and improve the reliability, runtime, debuggability, and maintainability of the test suite. You will create test tools that make it easier to automatically capture, analyze, compare, and validate audio behavior. You will help teams move from manual validation toward reproducible, deterministic, and observable test workflows. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [How To Test A Ball of Mud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/173-how-to-test-a-ball-of-mud) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Why I Love End-2-End Tests and How To Get Them Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/996-why-i-love-end-2-end-tests-and-how-to-get-them-right) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Finding IT & Technology English-speaking Jobs in Germany ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/446-finding-it-technology-english-speaking-jobs-in-germany) - [How to Land a Developer Job in Berlin](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/1-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-berlin) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools)
