Working in the Data Division

Our team is responsible for the distribution of all data products generated by Open Cosmos and its partners. To do so, we develop DataCosmos, an online geospatial data platform.

What will you be doing?

As a Test Engineer, you’ll take the lead in defining testing strategies alongside the project manager to ensure the highest quality of our client-server platform. You will design and execute dynamic test cases—both automated and manual—covering the UI and APIs, while also validating user and admin manuals to ensure accuracy. Additionally, you will drive continuous improvement in testing processes, lead cross-functional collaborations, and strategically plan the testing roadmap. Your ability to lead, manage resources, and foster a culture of quality will be key to the success of innovative software solutions.
