• CI/CD integration: automate tests in the pipeline (Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker) for fast, reliable feedback.
• Quality observability: dashboards and reports that quantify performance, highlight regressions, and track trends for developers.
• Acquire and curate test data using cameras; enhance existing cases and broaden coverage where needed.
• Be responsible for maintaining and evolving our Video Analytics Evaluation Platform: define accuracy and quality metrics and add diagnostics/insights that help R&D quantify performance, detect regressions, and prioritize improvements.

• DevOps mindset (Git, CI/CD, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Docker); you treat tests as first-class citizens and track quality trends.
• Understanding of imaging/video analytics (including AI/ML approaches) and how to assess accuracy, robustness, and performance.
• Hands-on experience testing web applications and REST APIs across backend and UI using modern test frameworks; knowledge of React and Fluent UI is a definite plus.
• Fluent, clear written and verbal communication in English (French and/or Swedish are a plus).
• Detail-oriented and practical—setting up cameras, managing datasets, scripting tools.
