Where Ranorex remains the right tool, this person will help improve stability, coverage, maintainability, and execution speed. Where another approach is more appropriate, they will be expected to propose, prototype, and help implement practical alternatives that integrate with our current development and release flows, including GitHub-based collaboration and automation.Manual testing will remain an important part of the role. The SDET will support exploratory testing, feature validation, regression testing, release readiness, and investigation of complex product behavior where automation alone is not sufficient. The role also requires a strong willingness to learn the IDEA product, customer workflows, and audit concepts over time.     ❗ Please note: this role is NOT a B2B contract.
