Senior Software Engineer - Software Test Developer

Your role in the team

• The Senior Software Engineer - Software Test Developer (m/f/d) is responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and robustness of software developed by engineering teams.
• This position reports to the Manager Software Engineering and is part of the R&D Software team located in Munich and will be an on-site role.
• In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
  • Apply strong C# software engineering skills with quality as a first-class outcome—contributing to design, implementation, refactoring, and code reviews, and validating behavior with effective unit and integration tests.
  • Treat tests as real software: build and maintain production-grade test infrastructure (frameworks, utilities, libraries) using SOLID principles and clean architecture, with meaningful coverage and long-term maintainability.
  • Collaborate closely with peers during implementation—participating in design/architecture discussions, improving testability and robustness, and driving pragmatic changes in product code and interfaces where needed.
  • Leverage and evolve the automation framework by owning its architecture, extensibility, and performance, and by strengthening CI/CD quality gates (fast feedback, reliable signals, flaky-test reduction) using simulations, stubs, and mocks where appropriate.
  • Bring a strong quality perspective to code and test reviews, identifying design risks and edge cases across correctness, reliability, maintainability, and observability, and raising the overall quality bar through clear, practical feedback.
  • Engage deeply in technical problem solving while acting as a quality mentor, driving root cause analysis and defect prevention, and promoting engineering best practices such as TDD/BDD, effective test design, and continuous improvement of tooling and processes.

What we offer
