Experience: 5+ years of software testing and automation experience as an SDET or QA Automation Engineer working with modern web applications and distributed APIs.
Practical AI Perspective: A sharp, realistic perspective on how AI tools impact modern software engineering—understanding why accelerated code generation elevates the need for deterministic test suites, strict interface contracts, and fast feedback loops.
Core Tooling: Hands-on experience building robust, flake-free automated test suites in TypeScript / JavaScript using Playwright (or Cypress), alongside API testing frameworks.
API & Contract Testing: Practical experience validating RESTful APIs, webhooks, and JSON data contracts across microservices.
CI/CD Practicality: Working knowledge of GitHub Actions (or equivalent CI systems), with an emphasis on parallel test runners, containerized test execution, and pipeline debugging.
Mindset: AI-first thinking, high autonomy and ownership, and office-first commitment in Rotterdam HQ.
