The Story Behind the Role

Beyond implementing automation, how does this consulting role truly empower clients to build a sustainable culture of quality, and what challenges might arise?

In this role, you're not just writing automated tests; you're truly embedding quality into our clients' DNA. I remember a project where we transformed a manual, error-prone release process into a seamless, automated pipeline. The biggest challenge was initially shifting mindsets – helping the client see that investing in test architecture and best practices wasn't just a cost, but a long-term strategic advantage. By leading those smaller teams and acting as a trusted advisor, you empower them to own their quality, building systems that are robust and future-proof. It's incredibly rewarding to see the shift in their confidence and efficiency.

With such a diverse range of projects and technologies, how does the company ensure consultants remain at the cutting edge and continuously develop their expertise?

That's a core part of our 'Unternehmens-DNA'! The constant exposure to new clients and varied tech stacks is a development path in itself. But beyond that, we have a robust internal coaching program. Our senior consultants, who have literally 'walked the talk' in project realities, mentor you through challenges and introduce you to new concepts. Plus, the flexible and agile environment means we’re always learning from each other in daily stand-ups and dedicated knowledge-sharing sessions. You're never alone in facing a new technology; the team and our internal experts are always there to support your growth.
