The Role & Your Impact 

As a Senior Test Engineer at Blyce, you are first and foremost responsible for ensuring the quality and reliability of our software solutions through structured, hands-on testing. In addition, you coordinate testing activities within your project team, coach junior testers, create structure in the testing process, monitor progress and quality, and advise stakeholders on risks, priorities and improvements.

What Will You Do? 

This role consists of approximately 70% hands-on testing and 30% test coordination activities.

Your responsibilities include:

• Perform detailed manual testing of functional and non-functional requirements to validate software quality, reliability, usability, and security. 

• Plan, coordinate, and support testing activities throughout the full test lifecycle in line with Blyce’s Test Strategy and Test Policy.

• Review the test basis, conduct product risk analyses, assess the impact of defects, and translate findings into effective test approaches, plans, scripts, and effort estimates.

• Contribute to sprint and release planning and support test automation where appropriate.

• Monitor test progress and quality metrics, preserve testware, and report clearly on results, risks, and quality status to project teams, clients, and other stakeholders.

• Provide well-founded advice on quality-related decisions and proactively address risks, bottlenecks, priorities, and improvements.

• Perform peer reviews and quality checks and contribute to continuous improvements in testing processes, procedures, standards, deliverables, and quality indicators.

• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary and international teams, share knowledge, coach less experienced testers, and help develop testing best practices.

• Act as a visible specialist in an area such as functional testing, security, performance, or automation, taking responsibility for the quality and development of that specialization.

• Help translate unit goals into team goals and provide input for objectives.

• Stay up to date with developments in testing, quality assurance, and information security, and consistently apply company policies, processes, and procedures.
