Senior Software Engineer in Test (f/m/d/x)

YOUR ROLE

We are building a cloud-native insurance platform designed for a future where humans and AI collaborate to create, configure, and operate insurance products.

Insurance systems are complex and highly sensitive to errors. Pricing rules, policy lifecycles, billing, and claims must behave correctly across thousands of scenarios. As the platform evolves and becomes more automated, ensuring reliability and correctness becomes even more important.

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test (f/m/d/x) for AI-Enabled Insurance Plattform, you will help design the systems and tools that ensure our platform remains safe to change, reliable at scale, and transparent in its behavior.

This role is not about writing manual test cases. It is about engineering systems that make quality measurable and automatic. You will build testing frameworks, automation pipelines, and validation mechanisms that allow our teams to develop complex features with confidence.

You will work closely with engineering, product, and platform teams to ensure that quality is built into the architecture of the system.

WHAT YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED WITH

Design and build automated testing frameworks for distributed microservice systems
Develop and maintain integration, end-to-end, and regression testing pipelines
Ensure complex workflows such as pricing calculations, product configuration, and document generation behave correctly under a wide range of scenarios
Collaborate with engineers to make services testable, observable, and resilient
Build tools that help engineers validate system behavior early in development
Improve CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast and reliable feedback loops
Investigate production issues and help strengthen system reliability
Use AI-assisted development tools to improve test generation, debugging, and development workflowsUse AI-assisted development tools to improve test generation, debugging, and development workflows
Promote engineering practices where quality and automation are shared responsibilities

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Strong experience in building automated testing systems for complex applications
Comfort working with distributed systems and microservice architectures
Solid programming skills (e.g. TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Python, or similar)
Experience designing integration, end-to-end, and regression testing strategies
Experience building or maintaining test automation frameworks
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated quality gates
Curiosity for investigating complex system behavior and improving reliability
A strong focus on system correctness, transparency, and long-term maintainability
A pragmatic approach to using AI tools to accelerate engineering workflows while maintaining full ownership of system correctness
Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset when working with engineers, product teams, and platform teams

Nice to Know: Our Tech-Stack:

AWS cloud infrastructure
Containerized microservices architecture
gRPC and event-driven communication
Golang and Node.js / TypeScript
Relational and document-oriented databases
React-based administrative interfaces
