Senior Software Development Engineer in Test - Show Production

You will partner closely with software engineers and product designers to define test strategies, build automation, and validate complex workflows across desktop applications, audio plugins, networked audio systems, and spatial audio features. You will develop automated, scalable test frameworks, explore test infrastructure, and increase confidence in release cycles.

What you'll do

• Work on both black-box and white-box testing approaches, from backend-driven end-to-end tests to signal-analysis-based tests, UI validation, and system-level regression tests.
• Help integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and improve the reliability, runtime, debuggability, and maintainability of the test suite.
• Create test tools that make it easier to automatically capture, analyze, compare, and validate audio behavior.
• Help teams move from manual validation toward reproducible, deterministic, and observable test workflows.

What you'll need

• A proven track record as a Software Development Engineer in Test, or Software Engineer with a strong focus on quality and automation.
• Professional experience in the audio industry, preferably overlapping with the following fields: desktop audio applications, audio plugins, Audio-over-IP, spatial audio and immersive sound experience, embedded audio systems.
• Strong programming skills in at least one general-purpose language such as Python.
• Knowledge of C++ with a wish to learn more.
• Experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks, integration tests, end-to-end tests, and CI-based validation workflows.
• A good understanding of digital audio fundamentals and experience testing desktop applications in all major platforms.
• Experience with audio plugin testing.
• Strong communication skills in English and good understanding of software architecture, testability, observability, and maintainable engineering practices.

Nice to have

• Experience with networked audio or real-time network protocols such as AES67, Ravenna, Dante, RTP, PTP, multicast, or related technologies.
• Experience with spatial audio technologies or testing multi-channel audio systems and large-scale professional audio installations.

What they offer

• Flexible hybrid setup with trust-based working hours.
• Competitive and fair pay with subsidised public transport and lunch allowances.
• Urban Sports membership and company pension scheme.
• International team with autonomy and ownership.
