    Your role in the team

    • Approximately 4,000 employees at ORF work passionately every day to provide all people in Austria with media content – with high-quality information, quality entertainment, films, series, and shows from Austria. But also with cultural highlights, science, and of course all forms of sports, from top events to grassroots sports.
    • Quality is not created at the end – it is considered from the very beginning.
    • For the further development of our digital offerings (including ORF ON, ORF.at, TVthek, and mobile apps), we are looking for a Test Automation Engineer who will systematically shape quality — through the expansion of test automation, integration into development processes, and a clear focus on stable, user-oriented systems.
    • You work on applications used daily by millions of people and actively contribute to the stability and quality of these systems.
    • Participation in the conception, coordination, and execution of testing phases in agile projects, including risk analyses and the definition of quality gates.
    • Planning, development, and maintenance of automated tests (UI, API, End-to-End).
    • Integration and further development of test frameworks into existing CI/CD pipelines, including error analysis and test documentation.
    • Definition and further development of quality standards, quality gates, and risk-based testing strategies.
    • Conducting supplementary exploratory tests, usability checks, and specialized accessibility tests (WCAG).
    • Collaboration with development, product management, UX, and DevOps.
    • Conducting training sessions and knowledge sharing within the team.
