Senior Test Automation Engineer (m/f/d)

Responsibilities

• Design and ownership of a comprehensive, multi-tiered testing strategy (unit, integration, system, UI, stress, performance), including measurable quality goals
• Development and refinement of robust test harnesses and CI pipelines that detect regressions early and deliver fast, reliable feedback cycles
• Test automation across heterogeneous environments: C++ desktop, .NET, and web components—including test data and environment management
• Design, execution, and evaluation of stress and performance tests; identification of bottlenecks, leaks, and stability risks, including concrete improvement measures
• Establishment of “shift-left” and TDD-oriented QA practices in collaboration with Engineering (testability, Definition of Done, quality gates)
• Close collaboration with Development, Architecture, QA, and Product Management to prioritize quality-critical risks and ensure release readiness
• Standardization and scaling of test tooling, reporting, and flake reduction (stabilizing unstable tests, root cause analysis, sustainable fixes)
• Use of AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code) to generate, maintain, and triage tests, as well as to build reusable QA workflows, skills, and prompt templates for the team
