Too much data, not enough insight?
We get it. At KNIME, we build software that helps people clean, combine, and understand their data: fast, efficiently, and without code.

You can help make that happen.

Join us as a Team Lead Quality Assurance in Berlin or Konstanz* and help us raise the bar for product quality across our platforms.



Who you are

Quality leader: You lead and coach engineers, prioritize quality risks, and clearly communicate trade-offs to product and engineering stakeholders.

End-to-end owner: You take ownership of product quality and turn ambiguous requirements into reliable verification strategies.

Modern QA mindset: You're motivated to modernize testing, reduce flakiness, establish strong release gates, and support fast but safe continuous delivery.

Platform-aware: You understand the challenges of both SaaS/multi-tenant platforms and on-premises installations and design QA practices for each.

Hands-on technologist: You bring strong experience in test automation (web, API, backend), CI/CD integration, and performance and scalability testing.

Technical mentor: You write and review test code (Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript), understand cloud and container environments, and help junior engineers grow.

Tool-flexible: You're comfortable working with—or learning—tools like Robot Framework, k6, or Testpad.

Experienced: You have 7+ years in QA, including at least 2 years in a leadership or management role.



That's the job

Define QA strategy: Act as the senior quality technologist and people leader, defining and driving an end-to-end QA strategy across the tech stack.

Automation & CI/CD ownership: Own the automation architecture and work with DevOps and CloudOps to integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines.

Release confidence: Lead a team that delivers traceable, reliable release evidence for both SaaS and on-premises deployments.

Cross-functional collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, DevSecOps, and CloudOps to embed testing early and increase release confidence.

Team growth: Strengthen QA capabilities through mentoring, hiring, and continuous improvement.



What we offer

High-impact role: Shape how quality is built, measured, and shipped across KNIME's products.

Leadership & ownership: Lead a skilled QA team with real influence on product and release decisions.

Collaboration-first culture: Work in an open, international environment with strong engineering standards.

Learning: Grow your leadership and technical skills alongside experienced engineers and QA professionals.

Flexibility: Hybrid work options and flexible hours to support work-life balance.
