A Funda QA Engineer doesn't simply slam buttons hoping that something will break. They don't go for idiot-proof, but instead work on improving the most important and intangible element of all, which is quality: meaning the quality of every line of code, every sprint and every release by the team. That makes a Funda QA Engineer the A in Team Awesome.
Your job in a nutshell
As a QA Engineer, you have a choice: you can either slow processes down or speed them up. Your preference speaks for itself. You enable the team to excel. One release per day or per week won't suffice; you go for continuous deployment whereby 10 releases a day become the norm.
Your responsibilities
- Testing: conducting thorough testing to identify defects, bugs and issues
- Test automation: using your knowledge of the code and domain, create automated tests to streamline testing process and make bug fixes and code changes
- Quality assurance: ensuring that software products meet quality standards and specifications
- Collaboration: working closely with developers, product managers and stakeholders and promoting a whole team approach to testing by sharing your knowledge

The team
You will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary Scrum team, consisting of a Product Owner, UX Designer, and multiple Frontend and Backend Developers, and you will be part of the QA practise within Funda.
Why being a QA Engineer at Funda is awesome
We understand better than anyone that QA Engineers are a hot commodity. So why would you want to work at Funda? Apart from the fact that we are a top brand with large volume and traffic, and a riverfront office in Amsterdam (located on the IJ), your future colleague Jome (who broke her personal employment record here at Funda) captures it aptly: "You'd be working with some of the sharpest minds in the industry. It's both challenging and exciting.”
This is you
You have a wealth of experience in the field of Agile Testing within a Scrum environment. You have experience with test automation and programming (C#, Nuxt, Flutter), perhaps a result of your background as a developer. Additionally, you have experience with a Unit Testing framework (hopefully xunit), with designing, creating and maintaining automated tests (Playwright and integration tests in .NET Core) and with the use of version control systems (like Git and Github). You also have working knowledge of Azure DevOps and Kubernetes.
Next to that:
- A bachelor's or other university degree in science
- At least 5 years of relevant work experience
- Knowledge of a Continuous Delivery software strategy
- Experience working with an issue tracking system (e.g. Jira – check out our tech stack here)
- A good command of the English language, both written and spoken.
- You're currently living in the Netherlands
