WHAT WE NEED

Within Hazelcast our Quality Engineering team is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of software quality for our customers. As part of our team you will be among fellow skilled quality engineers whose focus is to ensure our Java-based real-time distributed storage and stream processing platform meets rigorous quality benchmarks.

We are looking for Software Engineers in Test with strong experience testing Java software platforms to work side by side with our expert Java developers.

In this role, you’ll tackle complex challenges, contribute to our product quality vision and play a key part in delivering reliable, high-performance software that delights our customers.

What You'll Do

  • Pay attention to code quality and software craftsmanship.
  • Participate in code reviews, ensuring that code is designed with test automation in mind.
  • Participating proactively in daily standup meetings, story grooming sessions, team retrospectives, regularly reporting progress as well as suggesting and implementing improvements.
  • Develop detailed test plans, test scripts and test completion reports based on functional and technical specifications.
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance automated testing frameworks for functional and non-functional testing.
  • Design and execute performance, load, and stress tests to ensure the application can scale and perform under heavy traffic or resource constraints.
  • Integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline to ensure frequent, automated validation of code changes.
  • Monitor the health of test suites and ensure that automated tests run successfully whilst ensuring test environment and test cases are optimized to improve system performance.
  • Investigate test failures and work closely with developers to diagnose and resolve defects and issues.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
