QA Automation and Devops Engineer
This contract role combines QA automation with DevOps responsibilities, supporting testing and release workflows for systems that include embedded hardware and measurement data. The core requirements are Python and pytest automation; REST API, PostgreSQL and migration testing; MQTT/Sparkplug B and Protocol Buffers contract testing; and hardware-in-the-loop testing. The role also calls for GitLab CI/CD, Linux, Docker and Kubernetes, embedded cross-builds, release and dependency controls, and software supply-chain security practices. The requested experience band is 6–8 years; nice-to-haves include Coverity or Black Duck, PKCS#11-backed signing, Playwright, network fault injection, fuzzing, and embedded coverage tools. The location is Munich and the employment type is contract; work mode is not specified, and the description does not name a product or industry, though its requirements suggest embedded or connected systems.
