Senior Test Analyst

Antwerp – Hybrid

Yields is a fast-growing tech company at the forefront of Model Risk Management and AI Governance. Our SaaS platform helps organizations govern and monitor algorithms with transparency and compliance, from traditional risk models to modern AI systems. Trusted by leading firms worldwide, we empower teams to reduce risk, accelerate innovation, and stay ahead of evolving regulations like the EU AI Act.

As our Senior Test Analyst, you are the final line of defense and the guardian of business logic at Yields. You don’t just “check for bugs” at the end; you are an active participant in the design process, ensuring quality is baked in from the first conversation. You will act as our Quality Gatekeeper, ensuring that every release doesn’t just “work” technically but delivers the exact value our business and clients expect.

• The 3 Amigos: Actively participate in “3 Amigos” sessions with Product and Engineering to define clear, testable success criteria before a single line of code is written.
• Quality Gates: Help us establish and manage practical quality gates that prevent regressions without slowing down delivery.
• Value-Driven Automation: Guide our test automation efforts. You don’t need to write every script, but you will direct the “what” and “why,” ensuring automation focuses on high-risk business logic.
• The Signal in the Noise: Lead the triage of test results. You’ll distinguish between Test Failures, Technical Application Failures, and Failures Against Business Logic, ensuring the team spends time fixing what actually matters.
• Hands-on Verification: Move beyond generic test plans. You’ll focus on exploratory and functional testing that challenges the system’s logic and resilience.
• Practical Metrics: Establish lean, testing-specific metrics that help us understand our risk and velocity, avoiding “reports for the sake of reports.”
• Continuous Feedback: Collaborate directly with DevOps and Dev to integrate testing into our daily flow, advocating for “Shift Left” principles.

• The Gatekeeper Mindset: Proven experience in a senior testing role where you were responsible for final quality sign-off and risk assessment.
• Logic over Documentation: You prefer participating in a design session to writing a 50-page test approach that no one will read.
• Automation Translation: Strong affinity for test automation. You understand how frameworks (Python, Jenkins, etc.) work well enough to guide an automator toward delivering real business value.
• Analytical Triage: The ability to look at 100 failed tests and quickly filter the critical business logic breaks from the minor environment blips.
• Collaborative Spirit: Experience working in Agile/DevOps environments where you aren’t a silo, but a partner to developers and product owners.
• Communication: The ability to explain why a release is or isn’t ready in terms of business risk, not just technical jargon.

• Hands-on Scripting: Experience with Python or JavaScript for when you want to dive into the code yourself.
• Performance Insight: Familiarity with tools like k6 to help us understand our scale limits.
• Shift-Left Experience: A track record of moving testing “up the stream” to the requirements phase.
• Technical Debugging: Ability to look at logs (OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch) to help developers narrow down root causes.
