ABOUT US

We are a pro audio company from Berlin, Germany. Since early 2011, we have been working on radically transforming audio technology, by re-thinking the underlying physics of sound reproduction. We wondered: What if sound could truly be controlled the way we can control light? What if we could create soundscapes that feel more real than reality? What if every seat in a venue could be made the best seat?
Our solution is science-based, software-driven, and hardware-enabled: the HOLOPLOT Matrix Array. The sound system for a new era, a powerful tool that brings previously inaccessible capabilities to the world of audio.
We believe when people experience better sound, they will enjoy more meaningful moments and create richer memories, leading to more fulfilling lives. At HOLOPLOT, it is our mission to redefine what is possible - enabling unparalleled and breathtaking experiences. A revolution in sound. Be part of it.

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE ROLE

We are looking for a talented QA automation engineer with a broad spectrum of experiences to join the team behind HOLOPLOT Control, one of the products in the suite of software solutions used to operate, maintain, and monitor HOLOPLOT sound systems.
HOLOPLOT sound installations are high-traffic digital systems that rely heavily on software to aggregate and interpret telemetric data. HOLOPLOT Control builds upon this data to allow users on-site to better understand, configure, and observe the system. It allows end users to monitor the health of the system, visualize fine-grained metrics and data points, and optimize audio performance in real-time. In addition, it lets stakeholders explore and interact with their system design using spatial 3D models and other novel web-based tools and controls.

In this role, you will work in a cross-functional team and participate in the life cycle of a high-end web application. You will work closely with developers to help them ensure the high quality of the code base, engage with the product team to identify business requirements and testing scenarios essential to ensuring great user experience and collaborate with the DevOps and release teams to help build pipelines and orchestrate testing environments.
