QA Strategy & Quality in Projects

• You develop and establish QA strategies and test concepts for digital products — pragmatic and tailored to each project context.
• You work closely with product, development, and UX to define quality goals, acceptance criteria, and test scope.
• You bring quality thinking into refinements and concept phases early on, strengthening a shift-left mindset.

Test Planning, Test Cycles & Release Readiness

• You plan, coordinate, and execute test cycles (e.g. regression, UAT, smoke tests) — both manual and automated.
• You ensure test and release readiness across relevant environments (DEV/QA/STAGE/PROD), including test data setup.
• You support acceptance processes, coordinate go-live checks, and enable stable handovers into operations and further development.

Test Automation & Tooling

• You build and further develop test automation (e.g. using Cypress, Playwright) and integrate it pragmatically into existing delivery workflows.
• You maintain test cases, cover end-to-end scenarios across web and API layers, and ensure long-term maintainability.
• You work with common tools such as JIRA, Xray, Qase, or similar to manage tests, bugs, and traceability.

Transparency, Reporting & Stakeholder Management

• You make quality visible through risk assessments, status updates, KPIs, and clear recommendations.
• You communicate early when quality, stability, or scope are at risk and help teams and stakeholders make informed decisions.
• You represent quality aspects within the team and towards stakeholders — ensuring clarity instead of last-minute surprises.

Must-haves

• You have several years of experience in quality assurance or test management—ideally in a digital environment or in software projects.
• You have already established and implemented QA strategies and test concepts in projects.
• You have practical experience with test automation (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, or comparable tools).
• You are confident in using test and project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Xray, Qase, or similar).
• You have a good understanding of agile working methods and cross-functional collaboration.
• You work in a structured, conscientious, and solution-oriented manner – even with complex, not fully defined requirements.
• You can assess and prioritize risks and derive pragmatic, quality-oriented measures from them.
• You communicate clearly and confidently in German and English (at least B2).

Nice-to-haves

• You have experience with internationalization/localization testing (multilingual products).
• You are familiar with common accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and ideally have some practical experience in this area.
• You have knowledge of testing complex business logic (e.g., commerce, checkout, promotions, country rules, etc.).
• You already have experience in performance and end-to-end testing.
