Test Automation Engineer

Tampere | €5,000 - €6,000 |

I'm currently helping my client to find an experienced Test Automation Engineer for their long-term project in Tampere. The project is for a large industrial client.

Company

You'd be employed by a small Finnish tech consultancy that was established in 2017. They employ various senior-level tech experts, including developers, testers and project managers. Their company culture is very flat, and they encourage all their employees to voice their ideas and opinions.

The consultancy is specialised in challenging long-term projects that typically focus on building something new - they don't want to send their consultants to just do boring legacy work! They have offices in Helsinki and Tampere, but you'd typically work at the end-client's site (or remote / hybrid depending on their preference).

Job Description

The project that you’d join is for an industrial company that has a big office in central Tampere. Ideally you’ll work in the office 2-3 days per week. The site is easily reachable by both public transport and car.

In this position, you’d…

  • Take part in integration and UI testing of a web-based tool
  • Work closely with a development team
  • Write and maintain test cases

The technologies that you’d work with include…

  • Robot Framework and Python
  • Selenium
  • Playwright
  • Jenkins
  • CI/CD
  • Docker / Podman

It’d be great if you have experience in most of the above. However, experience in Robot Framework and Python (5+ years) is the most important thing. If you have previous experience in working in large industrial projects – perfect!

You'd be employed on a permanent contract. This would be a long-term project with no end date in sight. We hope that you’d be able to start as soon as possible.

Compensation

The salary for this position will be max. 6000e per month. It’ll depend on your previous experience. It's a fixed salary, meaning you don't need to worry about your billings affecting your monthly income!

The benefits package includes e.g. comprehensive occupational health care and lunch, sports and culture vouchers.

Next steps

The deadline for applications is on 10.4.2024.

Interested? Let's chat! You're welcome to send your application or contact the Recruitment Consultant directly (laura.hirvonen@cathcarttechnology.com).

Please note that although Finnish language skills aren't required for this position, you must be located in Finland with a valid work permit at the time of applying.

Our clients

Candidates

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal
