COGNIZANT

Disclaimer; testers who are sitting at their desk waiting for the next assignment or are afraid of  techniques or test automation, please do not read this great opportunity. 

Do you want to build bridges between Business & IT? Does your heart beat faster from terms like Cucumber, Selenium, Protractor, Test Data Management and Service Virtualization? And are you that business wise that you want to work for the larger companies in the Netherlands?

We want to meet you!

Word leader Cognizant is rapidly growing in the Netherlands and has the ambition to become the largest one here. We need many Graduate Quality Engineers to achieve this ambition. Do you want to grow with us?

We are searching for different testers within domains like;
∙ Banking and Financial Services
∙ Telecom
∙ Retail
∙ Logistics

You work within challenging projects at great companies which are always working with the latest
developments and most recent software.

Job description

As future Quality Engineer, you gain knowledge to create tests and execute those tests. Preferably automated. Nowadays there is no time to write test scripts and execute these manually. You directly see what has to be tested and decide how to test this automatically.

We are searching for innovative, self-starting people who are searching for opportunities and are willing to profile themselves for us and our clients. You want to develop yourself to being a consultant, the top notch in Quality Assurance.

Your profile

∙ Bachelor/Master level preferably with IT component
∙ Knowledge of methods like Selenium and/or Cucumber is a plus
∙ Communicative
∙ Fluently in English and Dutch is a must! (language within Cognizant is English)

Personal development

Before you start at a client you will start with a three weeks induction program for graduates abroad. We want to make sure you have a great start within Cognizant. You will also be trained in India about Quality Engineering and Assurance. After the induction in Spain you will enrol in our 18 months Graduate Development Program.

This is a full program in which you will develop your technical skills as well as your personal skills. Within QE&A we have monthly knowledge evenings. In a relaxed setting our testers share knowledge gained from projects they are working on. Eat, drink and afterwards we drink something in the pub. This meeting is not required but always well attended.

Because we are rapidly growing the opportunities are everywhere. We do not know where we will be in the next 6 months, let alone within 5 years, so we cannot predict your career. You can shape your career yourself, isn’t that great?

The induction program normally starts in January, May or September. These are also the moments when you will start.

International with start-up atmosphere

Worldwide we have more than 250.000 employees, from which 33.000 are testers! From Americans to Scandinavians and from Brazilians to Indians. Working in this setting not only expands your horizon but also your knowledge about other test techniques and methods. Furthermore this offers a great opportunity for an international career. Do not be afraid for the international character and its size. The atmosphere in the Dutch organisation is like a start-up and the structure as flat as a needle. The strict hierarchy that you sometimes see in other large IT organizations does not apply for us. Our managers are there for
everyone.

What more to expect?

Beside the opportunity to work with us to grow within our rapidly growing organisation, we offer:
∙ A competitive salary.
∙ A challenging bonus scheme.
