Test-Automation Engineer

You will take on the digital foundation of our test environment by independently developing, maintaining, and scaling our complex automation frameworks with state-of-the-art tools. You will dive deep under the hood and automate not only the user interface but also ensure data integrity and performance through automated tests for APIs, interfaces, and databases. Acting as a guardian of the pipelines, you will independently create test environments and seamlessly integrate our automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, including macOS runners, to get lightning-fast feedback from the development team. With your clever scripts, you will become a guardian angel for practical application and ensure even the most complex end-to-end workflows are absolutely reliable and performant. You will work hand-in-hand with the development team and document any found bugs as clearly as possible, including assessing their impact, so that the development team can take targeted action immediately. You will organize our test systems, continuously improve them, actively combat flaky tests, and manage test data in a structured and forward-looking manner. You enjoy the freedom to work 100% from home in your favorite place, so you don't necessarily have to live in Thuringia to get fully started in our team. You are looking for a long-term "home port" and preferably will dedicate at least 32 hours per week to us, whereby flexible part-time employment is generally not an obstacle.

You have a foundation in the form of a completed technical education or a comparable qualification, and you will convince us primarily with your deep practical experience in quality assurance. You have good to very good programming skills in a language relevant to our ecosystem, such as Java, JavaScript, C++, Swift, Dart, or similar. You have already convincingly demonstrated that you can automate complex desktop or client-server systems and are aware of the unique challenges of desktop application automation. Relational databases such as PostgreSQL are not foreign concepts to you, but rather your daily tool for confidently verifying test results even deep on the backend. Modern software development is your world; you write clean, maintainable test code, think in terms of risks in a structured way, and are confident working with Git, tickets, and agile backlogs. You communicate clearly and respectfully in excellent German at a level of at least C1, as German is our internal team language for complex medical product contexts and documentation. You can fully realize your great curiosity about the future here, as well as your interest in AI tools in testing or initial experience with systems like Codex, Claude Cowork, Gemini Spark, or OpenClaw. ISTQB certification in Test Automation Engineering or Foundation Level would be the absolute icing on the cake for us, but along with your quick learning ability, it is not a hard exclusion criterion.
