Logo for Orbem

Senior Software Engineer in Test (f/m/d)

Roles & Responsibilities

  • Hands-on software engineering experience building testing platforms, test infrastructure, and maintainable test suites
  • Experience designing and implementing simulation tooling (adapters, mocks, stubs, fakes, simulators) for hardware-agnostic testing, including error injection and deterministic environments
  • Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines with observable quality signals and reliability improvements (Grafana/Sentry or equivalent)
  • Experience building contract and integration tests for microservices (e.g., RabbitMQ events and REST APIs) and validating message schemas, compatibility, and fault handling

Requirements:

  • Own and evolve the team’s testing framework across unit, contract, integration, and end-to-end testing with emphasis on maintainability and scalability
  • Design and implement simulation tooling to test systems without physical hardware, including error injection and deterministic test environments
  • Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines and improve observability for failures using tools like Grafana/Sentry (or equivalent)
  • Build contract and integration tests validating microservice communication (RabbitMQ events and/or REST APIs) and develop E2E/system-level tests for AI models, MRI processes, and service orchestration

Job description

We see the potential inside everything and everyone. Starting with you.

Orbem uses AI to industrialize MRI, delivering non-invasive insight into everything from fruits to eggs to the human body. We are transforming what is becoming the world’s largest biological dataset into actionable intelligence to reduce waste, increase quality, and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and healthier future.

Headquartered and founded in Munich, Germany, with an office now in Houston, Texas, our world-class team is scaling inside-out technology to transform how humanity sees and understands biological matter.

Help us see what’s possible. Join us.

Senior Software Engineer in Test (f/m/d)

  • Starting date: As soon as possible

  • Salary: €70,000 - €75,000 (fixed range, annual gross)

  • Stock Options: €20,000 - €40,000

  • Work model: Full-time, Remote in Germany / Hybrid in Munich

Your Role

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you’ll join a multidisciplinary team alongside MRI and Software Engineers to build and own a testing platform for our scanning software. Your mission is to make complex systems testable: microservices, AI inference, MRI workflows, and hardware-adjacent components—reliably, repeatably, and at scale.

This is a hands-on software engineering role. You will design test infrastructure, simulation layers, and CI integrations that enable fast feedback and high confidence releases—from unit tests to end-to-end and system health monitoring.

In this role, you'll play a key part in redefining software testing by delivering high-quality testing solutions.

Your day-to-day

Your responsibilities include: 

  • Own and evolve the team’s testing framework across unit, contract, integration, and end-to-end testing, with a strong emphasis on maintainability and scalability.

  • Design and implement simulation tooling (adapters, mocks, stubs, fakes, simulators) to test systems without requiring physical hardware, including: error injection / fault simulation, bypassing hardware dependencies in test mode, and deterministic, reproducible test environments.

  • Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (gating, quality signals, reporting, flake management) and improve observability for failures using tools like Grafana/Sentry (or equivalent).

  • Build contract and integration tests validating microservice communication (RabbitMQ events and/or REST APIs), ensuring message schemas, compatibility, and failure handling remain stable over time.

  • Develop E2E/system-level tests for critical workflows spanning AI models, MRI processes, and service orchestration.

  • Raise unit test quality via code review: improve test design, coverage meaningfulness, reliability, and maintainability.

  • Work closely with the Head of Quality Engineering on strategy, prioritization, and long-term architecture for a future-proof testing ecosystem.
