Quality Assurance Engineer (Automation) (f/m/d) - Remote

HeidelbergCement one of the largest worldwide construction materials companies is looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer (Automation) (f/m/d) to build world class mobile and web applications based in Heidelberg, Germany. You will be involved in a global product team where you can learn and grow with our company as we embark on a digital transformation of our application offerings. You have an opportunity to provide valuable input as we shape and improve our core digital customer offerings over the coming years.

QA Engineers in our teams aren’t doing much manual testing if any at all. You write scripts to automate testing and build-up tooling to better embed testing into the individual product teams. Second, you should use your QA knowledge to influence the software engineers on a regular basis so that we end up with better software and embark on our “quality by design”strategy. We are true believers that continuous delivery and test automation have to go hand-in-hand.

Additional training and coaching is part of the package so if you are passionate about web and mobile technologies and committed to clean code then this is the job for you. Of course, we offer possibilities to work remotely and our newly built headquarter offers a very modern and inspirational workplace as well.
