An Amazing Career Opportunity for a Senior Software QA Automation Engineer!!

Location: Prague, Czech Republic

Job ID: 31094

You will work on technically challenging and interesting tasks in the field of software for biometric systems (fingerprints, face recognition etc.). The work includes the complete test lifecycle of our software (e.g. device drivers, biometric libraries, middleware, interconnected systems, applications, mobile apps or server/cloud software) and embedded software/firmware running on our devices.

As we need to support software testing on multiple operating systems (especially Windows and Linux) and with multiple types of devices, there is a strong emphasis on automated testing. Our desire is to automate all software testing as much as feasible. We will expect you to write tests and test scripts in Python (main language), and optionally also in C, C++ or C#.

Who are we?

HID Global powers the trusted identities of the world’s people, places, and things, allowing people to transact safely, work productively and travel freely.

We are a high-tech software company headquartered in Austin, TX, with over 4,000 worldwide employees. Check us out here: www.hidglobal.com and https://youtu.be/23km5H4K9Eo

HID’s Extended Access Technologies Department:

Driven by years of innovation, the EAT business unit, within HID Global, offers a broad range of biometric technologies that benefit any transaction requiring irrefutable proof of identity — such as access control, customer onboarding, fraud prevention, loss prevention, time and attendance, forensic investigation, background checks, border security and government benefit issuance.

We provide peace of mind to a great array of organizations and industries who know that they are getting the highest level of safety and security through trusted identity.

As our Senior Software QA Automation Engineer , you’ll support HID’s success by:

• Develop automated QA tests, test tools and test infrastructure to drive the quality of tested products

• Strongly contribute to the whole software test lifecycle – create test plans and specifications, implement and execute automated tests, evaluate code test coverage, maintain test methodologies, participate on the software release process

• Automated tests are primarily written in Python, some tests (e.g. concurrency and performance tests) and infrastructure require also C, C++ or C#. You will need to master at least Python and one of these additional languages

• Cooperate closely with software engineers on identifying, reproducing and resolving software problems

• Collaborate with other teams on system and interoperability testing

• While the emphasis is on the QA automation, on occasions we will need you to execute also manual test procedures (e.g. when searching for a way to reproduce a problem)

  What we will love about your background:

• Substantial experience in software testing, especially the automated test development and software test lifecycle. Please note that since the majority of our software has no GUI, the knowledge of GUI or Web test tools like Selenium or Robot Framework is welcome but not sufficient

• Knowledge of various test/development methodologies such as BDD, TDD, Acceptance Testing, Unit Testing, System Testing, Performance Testing and Integration Testing

• Working programming skills in Python and at least one other standard programming language (in C/C++/C#)

• A good working knowledge of Windows and Linux. We expect the ability to prepare and configure test environment and execute tests on these systems.

• Working knowledge of bug/defect tracking, software code repositories, build systems (Jenkins) and test management systems (TestRail).

• A fast learning, innovative and persistent person with wide interest in software testing and QA, identification and authentication

• Ability to complete tasks independently, with minimal supervision

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

• Precise, systematic and organized work style. Attention to detail, reliability, dependability

  Your Experience and Education include:

• Minimum Bachelor’s degree (Master’s degree preferred) in Computer Science, Software Engineering or relevant field of study

• Experience in software development: Minimum 4 years (MA) or 6 years (BA)

• Ability to effectively communicate in the English language, both verbally and in writing

• Ability to read and interpret technical journals, specifications, international technical standards, etc.

• Working knowledge of Czech or Slovak is an advantage

• Ability to prepare and configure test environment and execute tests on Android or iOS (optional, but preferred)

• Experience with installing and administration of Windows or Linux (optional, but preferred)

• Experience with using and configuring VMware or Docker (optional, but preferred)

• Experience with using TestRail (optional, but preferred)

• Experience with using Jenkins and its configuration including writing the build scripts (Jenkinsfile) (optional, but preferred)

• DevOps skills (optional, but preferred)

• Knowledge of GUI or Web based test tools/frameworks like Selenium or Robot Framework (optional, but preferred)

  Who you are as a Team Member:

• Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal

• Willingness to ‘roll up sleeves’ and dive deep into tactical work when necessary

• Good interpersonal skills, willingness to learn and continue to grow professionally

• Strong team player and ability to work well with others

  Why apply?

• Empowerment: You’ll work as part of a global team in a flexible work environment, learning and enhancing your expertise.

• Innovation: You embrace challenges and want to drive ambitious change.

• Integrity: You are results-orientated, reliable, and straightforward and value being treated accordingly.
