Quality Engineer
HybridSydney, New South Wales, Australia
Job Summary
Test the platform's admin portal end-to-end and verify tickets in the test environment while designing manual test plans covering functional and regression scenarios. Build and maintain automated API tests for the platform's REST APIs, validating contract stability across releases and working with engineering on breaking-change detection. Assess changes against how downstream products use the platform's data, flagging risks that aren't obvious in isolation. Manage test environments and configurations across development, staging, and production-equivalents, collaborating cross-team on defect triage and clear, actionable bug reporting. Contribute to CI/CD quality gates as the platform's API-stability initiatives mature.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of QA/QE experience combining manual testing and test automation
- Solid experience testing REST APIs: Postman/Newman, OpenAPI/Swagger, and writing your own test assertions
- Working knowledge of ticket-based QA workflows (e.g. Jira)
- Understanding of the risks specific to producer/consumer service architectures, including versioning and backward compatibility
- Strong written communication for bug reports and test documentation that engineers across different stacks can act on
Desired Qualifications
- Familiarity with .NET/C# codebases, Typescript
- Exposure to contract testing tools (e.g. Pact) or CI-integrated API diffing (e.g. oasdiff)
- Experience adding automated checks as CI/CD quality gates
