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

• 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
