Test Engineer / Test Automation Engineer (m/f/d) Focus API Testing

You don't just find bugs – you ensure they don't happen in the first place.

Does software quality mean more to you than just executing test cases and documenting bugs?

Do you want to understand how software works, develop automated tests, and work with development teams to ensure applications run reliably?

Then become part of NELTA!

As a Test Engineer / Test Automation Engineer, you will take responsibility for the quality assurance of modern software solutions. You will develop and optimize automated tests, plan integration and regression tests, and ensure that errors are detected early and permanently resolved.

You will work closely with development teams and customers, contribute your technical expertise, and use modern technologies – including AI-powered tools like Claude Code – to make testing processes more efficient and software quality measurably better.

Your Responsibilities

• You will create, document, and execute manual and automated software tests.

• You will plan and implement integration and regression tests for various software solutions.

• You will analyze errors in automated tests, identify causes, and optimize existing test scripts.

• You will develop test cases and test scenarios and document them in a structured manner, for example with Gherkin.

• You will build test documentation, structure existing content, and continuously develop it further.

• You will work with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Xray to transparently document and manage test activities.

• You will support development teams in improving the testability, stability, and quality of their software.

• You will use AI-powered tools like Claude Code to support the creation and optimization of test cases and test documentation.

• You will communicate test results, error patterns, and improvement potentials clearly to development teams and other stakeholders.

What You Bring

• You have solid practical experience in software testing, especially in test automation.

• You have already created, executed, and independently further developed automated test cases.

• You are familiar with integration and regression tests and understand the interdependencies of complex software solutions.

• You have experience working with Jira, Confluence, and Xray.

• You can describe test scenarios in a structured way using Gherkin notation.

• You are able to analyze errors in automated tests, identify causes, and implement suitable solutions.

• You have a good technical understanding and enjoy working closely with software developers.

• You work independently, analytically, and solution-oriented.

• You are proficient in navigating English-language project documentation and have good English language skills.

This will earn you bonus points:

• You have experience in software development and knowledge of relevant programming languages.

• You have independently set up or improved test processes.

• You have experience with AI-assisted development or testing tools.

• You hold an ISTQB certification.

Important: Your practical experience counts more than the number of your certificates. We are looking for someone who understands test automation technically, develops independent solutions, and actively shapes software quality.
