You will continuously develop our test strategy and sustainably anchor quality and AI-supported testing methods in the development process.
- Team Leadership: You will lead and develop your team, train them in new testing methods, and drive the use of AI and the further development of test automation together – while actively participating in testing yourself.
- Test Conception & Planning: You will develop test concepts for new functions and customer-specific configurations in close collaboration with project management and customers. You will create test cases, test scenarios, test plans, and test data with AI support and ensure their technical quality.
- Test Automation: You will drive test automation forward using AI coding assistants and agents and continuously develop our automated tests and the entire test landscape.
- Analysis & Optimization: You will analyze test results and error causes, specifically using AI tools, and support the teams in sustainable error correction.
