Job description

We are looking for a Senior Test Engineer to join the Participation team which manages a range of user-facing systems for our client, including Commenting, Voting, and the Quiz engine. These services span various product areas, delivering engaging experiences to users.
Commenting functionality is a key focus, with plans to enhance its capabilities in the coming months. Given the sensitive nature of personal information stored and processed by these systems, security is a top priority.

The Voting system powers high-profile events which leads to handling substantial traffic, as well as smaller-scale fun votes and niche campaigns. Similarly, the Quiz engine supports interactive experiences such as polls, News quizzes, and Children’s games, offering a diverse range of content to users across the platform. Together, these services play a vital role in driving user engagement and enriching the clients digital offerings.
Our technology stack is built and deployed on AWS, with JAVA APIs and Javascript (Node.js, React.js) powering the system. This requires adaptability and the ability to manage context switching effectively. We follow Agile methodologies using SCRUM and two-week sprints,
with tasks organized in Jira backlogs. Joining the Participation team means working collaboratively to deliver robust, user-centered solutions on a global scale.
