About Aflac

While Aflac are a Fortune 500 U.S. company and one of the largest brands in the US and Japan, there is a very good chance you’ve not heard of us (yet). Here’s the deal: We help people cover medical expenses beyond their standard health insurance, and when they come to us they really need us. So, in Belfast, we’ve been building great technology since 2019 to support our customers in their time of need.

Role Context 

We are looking for a talented, tech enthusiast to join one of our software engineering teams. The ideal candidate will be eager about quality, automation, and leveraging GenAI to reduce risk. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Functional, workflow, and end-to-end testing of customer facing solutions. Including creation of automated tests where it makes sense. 
  • Provide best practice, shift-left coaching to developers to promote defensive coding habits. 
  • Facilitate example mapping sessions to help build complete picture of user story requirements. 
  • Contribute to the creation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines. 

Skills and experience 

Below is an overview of the skills and experience we are looking for, but remember, don’t rule yourself out if you don’t have everything on the list – it’s your intellect and your attitude we are really after. 

Essential 

  • 5+ years of IT experience in any client-server design/development 
  • Experience with targeted test automation strategies 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills 
  • Ability to work well within a team environment, maximising the different strengths across the team 
  • Key technology experience required for the role:

  • Other valuable technologies:

So that’s us. Thanks for taking the time to read this far. We look forward to hearing from you if you fancy joining a new tech innovation company with the agility of a start-up and the stability of a Fortune 500 U.S. company.
