Senior Software Quality Engineer (F/M/D)

OUR VISION

When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in.

That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better.

THE OPPORTUNITY

HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

• Own and evolve QA strategy for a complex, distributed system used in real-world environments

• Design and build scalable automated testing frameworks (backend, infrastructure, and web) integrated into CI/CD

• Drive a shift-left testing culture, enabling engineers to catch issues early and systematically

• Identify systemic risks and failure points across cloud services, virtual file systems, and APIs—before customers ever see them

• Define high-impact test scenarios that go beyond standard coverage and reflect real-world usage

• Establish observability, alerting, and feedback loops to continuously improve product quality

• Collaborate closely with engineers and product teams to embed quality into every stage of development

• Share expertise and support colleagues on best practices in testing, automation, and quality engineering

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED IN THE ROLE

• Several years of experience (typically 5+) in software quality engineering, with a strong focus on automation

• Proven track record of building and scaling automated testing frameworks

• Strong programming skills in at least one language (e.g., Python, C++, or similar)

• Deep experience in backend and system-level testing, including Linux environments, containers, and cloud/distributed systems
