- Collaborate with engineering and product teams throughout the software development lifecycle to define acceptance criteria and quality gates.
- Build and maintain automated test suites (functional, regression, and integration) to support continuous delivery.
- Identify, document, and track defects, working with developers to reproduce, triage, and verify fixes.
- Perform exploratory testing on new features, with particular attention to edge cases relevant to aviation data and flight-planning workflows.
- Contribute to test plans and quality documentation for releases, including regulatory and compliance-related testing where applicable.
- Monitor production quality metrics and participate in root-cause analysis of escaped defects.
- Advocate for quality best practices across the team, including code reviews, CI/CD pipeline checks, and test automation standards.
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of experience in a software quality assurance or test engineering role.
- Solid understanding of QA methodologies, test design techniques, and the software development lifecycle.
- Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or similar frameworks).
- Familiarity with API testing tools (e.g., Postman, REST Assured) and basic scripting (Python, JavaScript, or similar).
- Experience working with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail, or equivalent).
- Strong analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Based in Denmark or willing to work from our Denmark location, with authorization to work in the EU.
Nice to Have
- Experience testing software in aviation, geospatial, or other safety-critical, data-intensive domains.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
- Exposure to performance, load, or security testing.
- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- The chance to work on software that supports pilots and flight operations globally.
