You are a passionate tester! As soon as the build server spits out a new build, you make sure that it is tested in the automated test environment. As an agile tester, you know that exploratory testing is important and you recognize that your knowledge, skills and intuition are invaluable.

You realize that you continuously have to improve yourself, your team and the group of testers and you strive to make RES the best software development company in the world!

We are looking for testers who are capable of setting up an Agile Test Approach within a software development company. Additionally, we are looking for testers who love to work in an agile environment.

What will you be doing

• Critically look at new requirements by asking question such as ‘what is the worst that can go wrong in this feature’ and  ‘what will make a user truly happy when using this feature‘.
• Exploratory testing (ET) of new software: you will define your missions based on the requirements, product documentation, your team and you will run ET sessions in which you go to the deepest ends.
• Build automated tests using our own software products, using tools that we build ourselves and you will assist developers in creating excellent unit tests.
• You will add value to your team and together with your team you will grow in achieving unique and outstanding performances.
