The Data Science Team at XING offers an open position for a
Senior Software Test Engineer (m/f)
focused on testing REST services created on top of our infrastructure stack (e.g., ElasticSearch, Hadoop, etc.).
The Data Science Team is responsible for turning data into services within the company. Data scientists, architects and developers work together to create highly scalable solutions to serve our more than 13million users.
A challenging task:
As a software quality and test expert you are the quality conscience of Data Science Team. During sprint planning, you discover the true complexity behind the product manager's ideas. During development, you design and write automated test cases for the data services of the team (e.g., search, recommendations, network inference calls, etc.). When you find ambiguities, you confer with the product manager to ensure the team is heading towards the right direction. You execute the tests and you are responsible for the defect management. You inspire the developers to deliver a high quality product. Afterwards, you discover those critical bugs that only a professional tester can find.
Our team is looking for a motivated and experienced QA engineer who wants to work with the latest technologies in an international environment (our team has people from 9 different nationalities!) and with extremely challenging goals.
