Description:

Senior Test Automation Engineer

Have you ever hacked your home router, just because you could? Do you deeply care about the safety of mobile devices? Do you consider metal, coffee and CTF essential ingredients for a night of fun? Do you want to contribute to a more secure future for payment systems? Do you like building the world’s most advanced security test tools? Then you should join Riscure!

 

Riscure is a young, ambitious organization specialized in security testing for leading international clients from the semiconductor, payment, set top box, mobile and smart metering industries. In addition, Riscure is the leading vendor of specialist security testing products. We have 150+ employees with mixed technical and academic backgrounds working from offices in Delft (The Netherlands), Shanghai (China) and San Francisco (USA). Riscure is organized in two units: Knowledge & Services and Products.

 

We are looking for an enthusiastic Senior Test Automation Engineer to join our international family (30+ nationalities!). You will work on new and existing software products that validate the security of embedded software and IoT applications. Our market-leading tools enable security experts and developers to find vulnerabilities in secured products by using a variety of hardware and software test techniques, combined with data analysis and visual representation of test results. For our software security testing products, we rely on efficient algorithms, advanced compiler technology and accurate electronic circuit simulation. For our hardware security testing tools, key factors for success are performance, complex analysis of large data sets and reliable software-hardware interaction.

 

As a Senior Test Automation Engineer, you are part of a growing, cross-functional development team based in the Netherlands. Within the Team, it is your main responsibility to develop and maintain the build and test facilities for Riscure’s tools. To take further steps in Quality Assurance, Riscure is investing in tooling that enables us to release software with more features, more often and more reliably. Your goal is to expand our current test facilities into a fully-fledged CI/CD pipeline that enables our customers to regularly upgrade with confidence to the latest release of their Riscure tools. You will create a technical roadmap for this pipeline and spearhead the implementation, gradually enabling the team to contribute. Together developers and product owners, you develop tools that enable analysts and engineers worldwide to make their products more secure. The team collaborates with external customers as well as with the analysts from our own Security Lab to learn which cutting edge technologies are most valuable for Riscure’s product portfolio. The close collaboration with users results in products that fulfil a customer need and have short time-to-market.
