We are looking for an experienced mid-level QA engineer to work alongside an international team and help produce high-quality software products for a Swiss-based global building material firm.

About the role (Actual Job Posting page)

Are you looking for a new challenge? What about working with a world-leading building solution provider with sustainability at its core? 

We are looking for an experienced mid-level QA engineer to join an international team (Europe and US-based) and help produce high-quality software products. The client, Holcim, is a global building material manufacturer and supplier with billions of dollars in revenue. This would be a great opportunity to be engaged with a high-profile project. 

About the project

We are working as a fully distributed team dispersed in the US and Europe (Germany, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine, and Portugal) and use 2-week-long Scrum sprints. Our engineers are engaged in full-stack development and product design from scratch, starting from the end of August 2022. We created several applications for web, Android, and iOS for different roles, as well as a rich REST API for multi-platform communication. We use Google Map integrations, algorithms for ETA and geo-fencing, and weather-related libraries to a great extent.

Team: 1 Product Manager, 1 Team Lead (Full-stack + Architect + DevOps role),  1 BE, 2 FE, 2 QA, 0.5 PM (from Proxet). Average experience in the team is far more than ten years in the field — we are a well-established, high-performance team.




About the client

Holcim is a Swiss-based global building material and aggregates flagship division of the Holcim Group. The original company was merged on 10 July 2015 with Lafarge to form LafargeHolcim as the new company and renamed to Holcim Group in 2021.

The Holcim Group manufactures and sells cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and asphalt products, as well as associated services and solutions; Holcim helps streamline concrete deliveries, tracks them, and improves communication between parties of interest.
