QA Test Automation Engineer

Description

The team builds software that helps the energy sector, from power generation to grid orchestration and consumption.

The work centres on electricity markets, critical IT systems, and a trading platform with near-real-time applications.

• Give feedback on software usability and behaviour.
• Look after test environments.
• Keep learning independently and pass knowledge on to the team.
• Independently test large modules or components and own features, feature sets, or whole feature areas.
• Support your own team and others, lead quality engineering discussions, and mentor junior quality engineers.
• Be available for business travel.
