Automation Engineer (m/f/d)

Title: Automation Engineer (m/f/d) Location: Hamburg, Germany ## What to expect * You own our native mobile end-to-end test automation stack (Maestro, iOS and Android), taking ownership of architecture, conventions, and suite health. You keep the suite small, deterministic, and cross-platform, because a reliable smoke and regression suite beats a large, flaky one. * You design and operate AI-driven test workflows where agents generate Maestro flows from specs and test cases (TestRail, Confluence), self-heal selectors, and triage failures. You review and harden everything the agents produce. * You drive testability into the product and build deterministic test foundations through stubbing, fixtures, and contract tests. * You own our CI quality gates (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and define where the test-pyramid boundary sits. * You review and elevate the work of our developers and manual QA, coaching them on writing testable code and on reviewing AI-generated tests. * You extend automation to our web stack (Playwright, Angular) where it adds value, always keeping the overall suite lean and reliable. ## Your background * You have 5+ years in test automation or SDET roles, with at least two of them owning test infrastructure (frameworks, CI, environments, test data), not just authoring suites. * You have delivered native mobile end-to-end automation on real projects (Maestro, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso) and can explain the flakiness trade-offs between them. * You bring developer-level scripting and programming ability (Kotlin, Swift, TypeScript, or Python) and read app code to add testability hooks yourself. * You have hands-on experience with LLM and agent tooling (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) in a testing workflow, or credible evidence that you will adopt it fast. This is core to the role, not a nice-to-have. * You have a clear stance on test-data determinism through stubbing, fixtures, and contract tests, and you have a proven track record of eliminating flakiness and keeping suites deterministic. * You ideally bring experience in CI/CD pipeline ownership (including device farms and simulators), web E2E with Playwright, white-label or multi-tenant product experience, visual and snapshot regression testing, and TestRail integration and reporting. * You communicate clearly in English and collaborate well with Product Owners and cross-functional teams. ## What we offer * The opportunity to develop freely in a growing company within a dynamic industry, shape the future, and continuously develop yourself. * The chance to take on responsibility from day one and leverage our short and fast decision-making processes to make an impact. * Flexible working hours based on trust and 30 days of vacation. * The possibility to work remotely several days per week. * An attractive, competitive salary and a variety of additional benefits (HVV ProfiCard, pension subsidy, etc.). ##
