Work model: Full-time, Remote in Germany / Hybrid in Munich

Your Role As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you’ll join a multidisciplinary team alongside MRI and Software Engineers to build and own a testing platform for our scanning software. Your mission is to make complex systems testable: microservices, AI inference, MRI workflows, and hardware-adjacent components—reliably, repeatably, and at scale.

This is a hands-on software engineering role. You will design test infrastructure, simulation layers, and CI integrations that enable fast feedback and high confidence releases—from unit tests to end-to-end and system health monitoring.

In this role, you'll play a key part in redefining software testing by delivering high-quality testing solutions.

Your day-to-day Your Responsibilities Include

• Own and evolve the team’s testing framework across unit, contract, integration, and end-to-end testing, with a strong emphasis on maintainability and scalability.
• Design and implement simulation tooling (adapters, mocks, stubs, fakes, simulators) to test systems without requiring physical hardware, including: error injection / fault simulation, bypassing hardware dependencies in test mode, and deterministic, reproducible test environments.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (gating, quality signals, reporting, flake management) and improve observability for failures using tools like Grafana/Sentry (or equivalent).
• Build contract and integration tests validating microservice communication (RabbitMQ events and/or REST APIs), ensuring message schemas, compatibility, and failure handling remain stable over time.
• Develop E2E/system-level tests for critical workflows spanning AI models, MRI processes, and service orchestration.
• Raise unit test quality via code review: improve test design, coverage meaningfulness, reliability, and maintainability.
• Work closely with the Head of Quality Engineering on strategy, prioritization, and long-term architecture for a future-proof testing ecosystem.
