Agile Test Engineer in Utrecht

With over 8 million customers, 30 million monthly visits and 15 million products, bol.com is the most successful online retailer in The Netherlands and Belgium. Over 1.300 people – including more than 350 IT-professionals, and 60+ Scrum teams – strive to make bol.com into the best, most customer-centric shop possible. Testing is essential, is this something you’d like to contribute to?

As an Agile Test Engineer you subscribe to the notion that rigorous testing is an integral part of IT development. Together with your Scrum team, you conduct and streamline tests on all levels, from unit tests to end-to-end tests. You have access to a large tooling arsenal, including FitNesse/Selenium, Cucumber, Gatling and Jmeter. You work closely and proactively with developers, and have plenty of opportunities to contribute to the development process itself. A high impact environment is a given, because your go/no-go decisions are often directly related to our core web-platform. At other times, you contribute to personalization, social media integration and/or back-end innovations that optimize order processes. What makes this role extra challenging, is your focus on automated testing, and the fact that you work on a test strategy for new big data technology. You work with PostgreSQL relational databases and NoSQL (big data) variants, such as MongoDB, ElasticSearch and Hadoop. Are you agile enough to keep up with the latest insights?

Your role

• Develop and implement best-in-class automated tests;
• Test front and back end solutions, in tandem with Scrum team members;
• Develop and implement a future-proof automated test strategy;
• Keep up to speed with testing innovations in big data environments.

Who you are
A Test Engineer with a solid track record in challenging development settings. Agile and Scrum experience is a major asset. Experience with test automation is a must. You combine a strong sense of ownership (build IT, run IT, love IT) with risk awareness and the talent to quickly identify issues and weaknesses. Which you can translate into clear-cut measures and recommendations. Because bol.com employs a SOA architecture and is gravitating towards micro services, experience with API testing will put you on top of our most valuable prospects list.

Nice to have

• Tmap and/or ISEB/ISTQB expertise;
• Fluent in SQL (Oracle), Cucumber, FitNesse, Gatling and Jmeter;
• Experience in Java programming;
• PostgreSQL and NoSQL knowledge is very welcome;
• Familiar with continuous integration & delivery.
