Quality Assurance Engineer for Cloud Applications

Job description

We are a passionate team working on state-of-the-art enterprise cloud applications. From small to medium to enterprise-scale, our team covers everything digital at Siemens world-wide.

As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products.

You'll be an integral part of the development process, collaborating with developers, product managers, and customers to understand project scope and contribute to refining application usability.

Our team functions on a combination of focused independent work and active communication. We are open, honest, and kind; we ask for help, we support one another, and we have fun while doing so. 

What about you? You're smart. You're organized and detail oriented. You take ownership of your tasks. You can adjust to changing conditions and environments. You're not afraid to ask for help or to tell a developer their ticket did not pass the quality check. You love learning and trying out new technologies. You can work without defined requirements.

Your responsibilities will be: test case creation, manual testing, and active participation in team meetings to enhance the overall quality of the product, 1st & 2nd level support within our applications.

Responsibilities in detail:

Requirements Analysis:

• Collaborate with Developers, Product Manager, and Customers to understand project scope.
