About

Schoolyear is a leading company in device security for exam fraud prevention, trusted by institutions across Europe, Canada, and Australia. We are a young startup that has grown to a team of 17 people (10 engineers), serving hundreds of institutions and administering millions of exams per year. Our focus is on building high-quality, stable software and providing a well-supported product to every institution we work with. We are a bootstrapped company, prioritizing product quality, team cohesion, and profitability over capital-funded growth. Our team works hybrid and/or fully remote from all over Europe (CEST ±1h), with our HQ in the Netherlands (Den Bosch).

What we build

We believe educators should be free to run assessments their way, without being limited by IT constraints. As exams become more digital and cheating methods (like generative AI) more sophisticated, teachers need better tools.

We provide security software that turns any device, whether student laptops or managed lab PCs, into a secure exam environment (Safe Exam Workspace) without IT needing to step in.

Our stack includes:

• A custom secure browser using low-level techniques (similar to game anti-cheats)
• A web application for instructors to create and monitor exams
• A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) layer for exams that require desktop tools like Excel or MATLAB
• A backend system that connects it all

The Role: Senior Test Platform Engineer – Desktop & Web (IC)

We are looking for a Software Engineer in Test to build the in-house test automation that keeps our desktop and web apps stable. This is an engineering role, not a QA role: you will be building a platform and writing the tooling that other developers rely on, not running manual test scripts.

• You will develop in-house test automation for end-to-end desktop application testing (Electron, Chromium, TypeScript, C++).
• You should have experience building or maintaining test automation platforms, or at least an extensive software engineering background with an affinity for testing.
• The role includes:
  • Building and maintaining a test automation platform for our desktop application
  • Implementing a baseline of tests for our desktop application product
  • Working with and supporting other developers to develop tests
  • Improving overall product stability
  • Maintaining a fleet of physical and virtual test devices, including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and iPadOS
