Quality Assurance Test Engineer - Mathematics

As a Quality Assurance Test Engineer for Operations Research, it is crucial to understand the mathematical optimization modules and (meta)heuristics that act as an optimization backbone for the complex dynamics of the supply chain covered by our software.

You are responsible for:

• Identifying and mitigating risks proactively to foresee potential issues that could impact functionality, performance, security, or compliance in the area of containerized applications and infrastructure-as-code.

• Developing and executing automation scripts using different tools and languages to perform new feature tests, load tests, and continuous regression testing of mathematical optimization modules and (meta) heuristic methods to ensure they meet design specifications and performance requirements.

• Integrating automated tests into pipelines to ensure continuous validation of changes
• Accurately estimating the priority level and difficulty of the required testing and planning accordingly.
• Tracking bugs and documenting your actions, while continuously communicating with all parties involved.

• Understanding how solver parameters and heuristics influence outcomes and applying best practices to identify edge cases, infeasibility, degeneracy, local optima, etc., while using anonymized or synthetic data that closely mimics real-world scenarios to ensure tests are relevant and uncover potential production issues
