About The Role:

Our tests are C# based and we have our homebrew automation library that helps us by wrapping Selenium Webdriver and improves sharing common functions across the whole team. We do not keep a huge set of manual tests. Each SQA engineer needs to decide how he will be testing the user story and if the test is worth keeping. If yes, it needs to be automated. 
Furthermore, we take care of SonarQube - a tool for static analysis. We are trying to implement it as a development standard as well as exploratory testing and having exploratory sessions before major releases in all dev teams.

• Experience in automated testing of UI and API.
• Theoretical knowledge of design patterns.
• Knowledge of the Selenium platform and Microservice design pattern is a big advantage.
• Knowledge of Agile development methodologies.
• At least an intermediate level of English (B1).

Moreover,  we are starting with other automated testing like security, performance, mobile, cross-browser, etc. So interest and drive to learn them is a big advantage.  

We offer:

• Competitive salary with quarterly bonuses
• A comprehensive benefits package (5 weeks of vacation, 2 sick days, meal vouchers, cafeteria plan).
• Flexible working hours (core time 10 am – 3 pm) and Home Office (upon agreement with manager).

• The opportunity to work on projects for some of the most innovative brands in the world, often before products are released to the general public
• Agile teams – you can work on a variety of projects and problems that interest you (https://agile.moravia.com/
• Chance to put your ideas into practice and engage with hundreds of employees globally, therefore an English-speaking environment.
