Software Engineer in Test (Berlin)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a fast-growing AI-powered SaaS organization seeking a Software Engineer in Test to join their engineering team in Berlin, Germany. This is a hands-on role where you'll spend the majority of your time writing code, building automation frameworks, and developing internal testing tools. While manual testing skills are valued, this position is designed for someone who can independently architect test strategies, take ownership of quality initiatives, and elevate standards across the software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and test cases for new and existing features
• Identify ambiguities or gaps in product specifications and propose improvements to ensure testability
• Automate key scenarios using Playwright-based test frameworks in TypeScript, with a focus on reliability and maintainability
• Perform manual exploratory testing for complex, high-impact features or areas with low automation ROI
• Analyze and communicate test results, triaging issues with clear, actionable insights
• Maintain and evolve testing standards, procedures, and documentation
• Set up and manage testing environments to mirror production usage patterns
• Investigate customer-reported issues, including log analysis from monitoring tools, reproduction steps, and severity assessment
• Collaborate with developers and product managers to drive quality from feature design through release
• Contribute to release decisions with risk assessments and test coverage summaries
• Partner with cross-functional teams to elevate quality across the SDLC
• Identify and advocate for opportunities to expand test coverage across the organization

What We're Looking For

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent technical experience
• 5+ years of experience in software QA within SaaS environments, preferably in customer engagement or contact center platforms
• Strong track record in creating and executing both manual and automated test strategies
• Proficiency in automation frameworks such as Playwright or Cypress and modern development workflows
• Deep understanding of QA methodologies, processes, and CI/CD practices
• Attention to detail with a bias toward risk-based testing
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including backend and frontend issue investigation
• Ability to think like an end-user and test accordingly, especially when product requirements are minimal or evolving
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to constructively advocate for quality
• Experience mentoring peers or contributing to testing infrastructure is a plus
