Test Automation Lead & DevOps Engineer

Company Description

We are a Bosch company but we do not produce tangible objects such as DIY tools or car parts. Service is our product. We provide services and complex technology driven solutions in the area Business Process Outsourcing, and this makes us unique in the Bosch world. Put simply: We take over some operations from other companies and run these for them, allowing them to focus on their core business.

We do so using future oriented technologies such as RPA, cognitive robotics or artificial intelligence. We work with leading companies from the automotive, travel, tourism, building and telecommunications sectors across the world as well as other Bosch units.
We complement any product with a solid service delivered 24/7 across all channels or design new service models, optimally fitted to the needs of end-customers. We ensure that each interaction with end-users is as smooth and efficient as possible, so that products or brands leave a lasting positive impression.

The list of our services is truly endless. To name just a few: We save lives with our back-to-back management of eCall in cars, monitor international cargo, get people out of broken-down elevators, manage social media interactions, run the IT hotline for Bosch or simply are the voice of customer service or technical support.

As part of the Bosch group, we operate in one of its four main business areas – the Building and Energy Technologies unit. There is a historical reason for it. We used to be part of Bosch Security Systems (producer of security hardware and security solutions). For them we managed for e.g. on-going product maintenance or the emergency and monitoring call center.

We were responsible for contacts with clients and third parties (e.g. technicians). We specialized in the service around the security product, which laid the ground for becoming a Bosch unit in its own right, specializing in service and Customer Experience.
