Your Role As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will strengthen our automation capabilities and elevate product quality across all software layers.

You will drive early and systematic defect detection, enable scalable testing, and build confidence in our releases. Working closely with development, QA, and release teams, you will shift quality validation left and ensure fast, reliable feedback throughout the development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Define and maintain the automated test strategy aligned with product risk, maturity, and release cadence; establish automation scope across unit, integration, system, and API levels and contribute to quality gates Develop, maintain, and extend automated test frameworks; implement regression, smoke, and critical-path tests while ensuring test code quality and maintainability Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, reliable feedback and support release readiness through validation of test results Detect defects early, provide high-quality diagnostics, and support root cause analysis by improving logs, assertions, and test visibility; collaborate with QA Field and Release teams to reproduce issues Track automation effectiveness, flakiness, and maintenance effort; identify testability gaps and continuously improve automation coverage based on field data and incidents Your Experience Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a comparable qualification 5+ years of experience in software testing, including 3+ years in test automation development Experience with API testing (e.g., Postman, REST Assured) and UI automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress) Hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner) Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, JavaScript; Rust is a plus) Solid understanding of testing strategies for distributed systems and scalable automation architectures Experience with quality management tools (e.g., Jira Xray) Familiarity with Docker or containerized test environments is a plus

Who You Are

Transparent and accountable, proactively communicating results and improvements Analytical and structured in problem-solving and decision-making Strong communicator with a collaborative and empathetic approach Self-driven, with a clear sense of ownership and continuous learning mindset Aligned with values of responsibility, clarity, and effective teamwork WHY ARCULUS We are a diverse, global team of 100+ creative thinkers, algorithmic brains, makers, movers, and shakers. Our approach comes from a continuous cycle: assemble, weld, code, test, deploy or delete, and repeat. That is how we deliver innovative solutions to tackle the biggest intralogistics challenges.

You will find our tech space nestled within the eastern region of Munich. It serves as a hub for our team's creativity and collaboration, featuring state-of-the-art meeting rooms, a fully-equipped electronics lab, and a spacious robotics testing area. Our team also enjoys a variety of social spaces, all within the modern infrastructure of the renowned Neue Balan campus.

We are more than just a workplace: we are a community. We encourage connection and affiliation through a range of activities: hiking trips, running events, ping pong tournaments, and quiz nights — there is something for everyone. We also believe that work should be rewarding in more ways than just one.
