We’re looking for a Senior Automation Tester to join a forward-thinking team in Auckland. You'll play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of digital products used by thousands. From shaping test strategies to hands-on scripting, this is your chance to influence every stage of the development lifecycle while working in a collaborative, supportive, and tech-driven environment.

What You’ll Do:




  • Lead the design and implementation of robust automation frameworks across front-end and back-end systems.




  • Partner with developers, BAs, and product owners to ensure full coverage through automated and manual testing, including API testing and exploratory testing.




  • Improve testing processes within an agile team, contributing to sprint ceremonies and helping drive product quality.




  • Share best practices and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.




  • Uncover risks early by thinking beyond documented requirements and ensuring exceptional user experience.




  • Champion the use of modern CI/CD tooling, cloud infrastructure, and version control systems like GIT.




What You’ll Bring:




  • 5+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining automation frameworks in complex environments.




  • Proficiency in Java & Cucumber for back-end testing and JavaScript/TypeScript with Cypress for front-end. (Playwright exposure a bonus!)




  • Experience reading code for white box testing, plus solid debugging and problem-solving skills.




  • Proven ability with Postman and other tools for manual API and functional testing.




  • Comfortable in Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban), with strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.




  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and a passion for improving processes and testing methodologies.




Why Join Us:




  • Work in a flexible, health-conscious, and inclusive culture that prioritises well-being.




  • Access to ongoing training and development to keep you ahead of emerging trends.




  • Be part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and quality-first thinking.




  • Make a real impact on digital transformation projects that shape how the business delivers services.
