About The Role

Within Global Digital Factory ECO (G‑ECO/MD), you will be responsible for ensuring the quality of a modern web application as part of an agile DevOps team. The team builds and operates solutions jointly used by BASF Coatings and external customers, and you will contribute to delivering reliable, performant, and user‑focused digital products through systematic testing and continuous quality improvements.

How You Will Do It

-    You contribute to delivering high‑quality Intranet and Internet applications that improve BASF Coatings services for internal and external customers.

-    You work in an agile and self‑organized DevOps team, supporting the full product lifecycle — from ideation to go‑live and ongoing operations.

-    You define test strategies and design automated testing solutions to ensure the product meets its functional and non‑functional quality goals.

-    You develop a deep understanding of business logic, workflows, and user scenarios to ensure comprehensive test coverage.

-    You collaborate closely with software developers to validate new features, identify defects early, and support automated testing against their delivered functionalities.

-    You design, build, and maintain automated test suites (functional, regression, performance) and ensure their integration into CI/CD pipelines.

-    You use appropriate tools (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman, JMeter) to test modern web applications, cloud solutions, and REST APIs.

-    You work closely with the product owner, product manager, designers, and developers to ensure shared understanding of acceptance criteria and quality expectations.

-    You contribute to monitoring, performance testing, and quality‑related DevOps activities to ensure reliable operations in production.

-    You document test strategies, test cases, results, and quality insights to support transparency and maintainability of the testing framework.

What We Look For
