Test Engineer

Company Description XLINQ builds enterprise software for high-trust, mission-critical environments. We enable digital transformation through composable, model-driven services that protect high-value assets with security, compliance, and control by design. Our mission is to radically simplify and automate the end-to-end software development process — from requirements engineering to deployment — using our unique Business-Code and generation-based development platform. We help organisations build complex, bank-grade systems with higher quality, faster delivery cycles, and dramatically reduced complexity. Our customers include leading banks, financial institutions, energy companies, and public-sector organisations. XLINQ is a spin-off from ING Bank, combining banking-domain expertise with experience in building and maintaining mission-critical transactional platforms. We foster a diverse, inclusive work culture where different perspectives and backgrounds fuel innovation. We believe great teams build great solutions.

What will you do? · Analyse complex business requirements, functional specifications, and domain models to define effective test strategies for enterprise-grade applications. · Design, document, and execute comprehensive test scenarios covering functional, integration, regression, system, and acceptance testing. · Collaborate closely with Business Engineers to ensure solutions meet business intent and quality expectations. · Translate business processes, conceptual models, and system behaviour into structured test cases and validation scenarios. · Using XLINQ test DSL, write test scenarios to ensure generated applications accurately reflect business requirements and domain logic. · Work with Business Engineers to identify gaps, inconsistencies, risks, and potential failure scenarios early in the development lifecycle. · Perform end-to-end testing of complex transactional workflows in environments where reliability, security, and compliance are critical. · Contribute to test automation strategies and implement automated testing solutions where applicable. · Analyse test results, investigate defects, provide clear defect reports, and collaborate with engineering teams to drive resolution. · Participate in requirements reviews, design discussions, and quality improvement initiatives. · Support continuous improvement of testing methodologies, tools, and quality standards. · Contribute to building reusable testing approaches for composable architectures and model-driven development environments.

What are we looking for? Experience · 5–10 years of experience in software testing including test automation, quality engineering, test analysis, or similar roles within complex software environments. · Experience testing enterprise applications in domains such as banking, payments, financial services, energy, healthcare, or public sector is preferred. · Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery environments with cross-functional teams.

Technical Skills Strong experience with: · Understanding requirements and write test scenarios · Functional, integration, system, regression, and acceptance testing. · Testing automation using standard available tools · Test case creation, execution, documentation, and reporting. · Defect lifecycle management and root-cause analysis. · Data validation and database testing using SQL. · API testing and service-level validation. · Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and quality assurance processes. Experience with: · Test automation frameworks and tools · API testing tools such as Postman or equivalent. · CI/CD pipelines and automated quality gates. · Model-driven development, DSLs, code-generation concepts, or composable architectures is an advantage.(nice to have) · Understanding of object-oriented programming concepts and basic scripting knowledge (Java, Python, SQL, or similar).

Domain & Analytical Skills · Ability to understand complex business domains and translate business rules into meaningful test scenarios. · Experience testing systems where security, reliability, auditability, and compliance are key requirements. · Strong understanding of data flows, business processes, and system integrations. · Ability to identify edge cases and hidden risks in complex transactional processes. · Experience working with financial products, payments, KYC, lending, or core banking systems is a strong advantage.

Who you are · You enjoy solving complex problems and ensuring software behaves correctly in challenging environments. · You have strong analytical thinking and attention to detail. · You can understand both business requirements and technical implementation aspects. · You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. · You take ownership of quality and actively contribute to improving delivery processes. · You are comfortable working in environments where reliability, security, and compliance are essential. · You are curious, proactive, and continuously looking for better ways to build high-quality software.
