Omschrijving

We are looking for a QA Software Engineer, to join our QA team in our Amsterdam office. You’ll develop and maintain an end-to-end automation testing framework, in a .NET payroll/HR SaaS, working in an agile mindset.

Who we are

Visma Nmbrs is a tight-knit family full of hard-working, passionate and dedicated professionals. We develop cutting edge software that provides our customers with the efficiency and control they need to give their employees the best possible HR and payroll service.

Job Responsibilities

As a QA Engineer you are going to plan, develop, and implement tests, both manual and automated. You’ll be an important part of the development teams while ensuring our product keeps its high level quality. You’ll also be working on the creation of the new automated tests, suggest improvements for better test coverage, and promote a culture of quality throughout the organisation. Since day one your opinion and input are valid and welcome. You’ll be involved in the main projects of the company since day one. #oneofus

Your squad consists of three disciplines: Product Owner, QA Engineer, and Developer. Together you’ll have ownership over one part of the Nmbrs® product.

You’ll not only be part of a squad but a member of the QA chapter as well. All QAs within the company are part of this chapter, which currently has around 4 people. The chapter discusses long term quality strategies, decides which technologies to use, and shares knowledge, problems and solutions with each other.

Your typical work week

The week starts on Monday, of course, when we share some events of our weekend at the coffee table. Usually, somewhere at the start of the week, a scrum will be held to decide how the current sprint is going to be tackled. All sprints are bi-weekly and tickets are planned and prioritised at the start. Of course if something in the middle of the week has more priority, the plan will be changed.

You’ll be a QA lead sometimes (it’s a weekly rotative function in QA team), and you’ll be responsible for facilitating the teams’ meetings, prepare the product updates and make sure they happen very smoothly.

Updates are a stressing point that falls mainly on top of the QAs. Every Thursday, the development team deploys a new update to the Nmbrs® product. After the update, the impact that it has can make fridays potentially stressful.. Tests sometimes don’t work and we don’t understand why which one can lead to code reds. However, if there’s a problem, we solve it together. We don’t sugar coat, we don’t avoid, we do what we have to do with a big sense of adaptability.

Our Technical Stack consists of: C#, VSTS, Specflow, Postman, Git, Jira, Azure

Your salary range working full time will be between 51k and 72k gross yearly.

Some ongoing projects within the company:

  • Developing front-end and back-end automated tests framework using BDD, Specflow and Selenium
  • Developing and implementing a strategy of non-technical testing

Working at Nmbrs

We have no managers and all of the responsibilities that would fall on them, fall on everyone. This means that it’s everyone’s responsibility to give feedback, recognise our colleagues, address people when something is not right, give a helping hand in recruitment and make sure our surroundings are in order. We all work together to make Nmbrs a great product and a great place to work!

Perks and Benefits

  • Nmbrs is a flat, international organization in which you have the freedom to do what you are good at, in an agile working environment;
  • A personal coach who helps you with your personal and professional growth and also the development of your squad;
  • We ensure a healthy work-life balance;
  • Post-Covid: Nmbrs will adopt a Hybrid work model (for now, we are following the government instructions);
  • To support the well-being of our employees, we provide the possibility to collect equipment from the office, but we have also allocated a budget for extra supplies to facilitate working from home;
  • Weekly and monthly activities to maintain health, commitment, and connection with each other.

Vereisten

We are looking for you if you have:

  • University degree in Computer Science or similar or a strong technical background;
  • Experience with setting up and maintaining test automation frameworks for web based applications;
  • Experience in an object-oriented programming language (e.g.: Python, C# or Java);
  • Experience with continuous Integration servers (e.g. teamcity, jenkins, VSTS);
  • Experience on QA automation tools (e.g.: Specflow, jMeter, Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber, etc.);
  • Knowledge or familiarity with BDD;
  • Familiarity with code version-control softwares (e.g.: Git, Bitbucket);
  • Collaborative and team player spirit. It’s important that you like to help your colleagues and are able to give and receive feedback;
  • A solutions-oriented mind. You keep yourself updated with new technologies, procedures, and are able to apply them;
  • Knowledge with load and performance testing is a plus;
  • Knowledge in security testing (penetration testing) is a plus;
  • English is a must; Portuguese is a nice to have.

Nmbrs is a company with a story of its own.
After starting out as a payroll administration office, we shifted focus towards becoming a SaaS company. We believe employees deserve the best possible HR service. By developing software that connects all the main users, companies ensure the best possible service to their employees. We currently supply for the Dutch and Swedish markets. Did you know that our customers manage more than a million payslips per month through Nmbrs?
