Quality Assurance Engineer with German (Playwright)

We don’t just test software, we elevate it! The QA & Agile Competence Center at NTT DATA Romania brings together specialists in test automation and quality engineering, ensuring fast, reliable, and safe delivery across all projects. With strong expertise in UI & API automation, continuous testing, performance testing, and agile frameworks, we build scalable automation frameworks, integrate quality into CI/CD pipelines, and enable teams to deliver high‑quality releases at speed. In every industry we support — from Automotive to Finance and e‑Commerce — we turn quality into a competitive advantage.

We’re looking for a highly engaged Quality Assurance Engineer with German to join one of our projects within a large‑scale telecommunications environment. The project aims to validate and ensure the quality of legacy applications as they are transformed into modern, scalable, and user‑centric web interfaces, delivering seamless digital experiences for millions of customers. This role offers the opportunity to work on a modern and technically complex project, where quality plays a key role in ensuring reliable and high‑performing solutions at scale. You will have real ownership of the testing activities (manual and automation), contribute directly to product quality, and collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams. It’s an excellent chance to join early, help shape testing processes, and have a visible impact on the success of high‑quality solutions, as we are currently ramping up several newly formed teams after securing a new strategic client.
