SUMMARY:
If you’re the kind of developer who takes pride in catching what others miss, thrives on automation, and genuinely cares about shipping clean, reliable code — this is the kind of role you’ve been waiting for. Build quality into products at scale, not as an afterthought, but as a core engineering discipline.

POSITION INFO:

My client, a well-established and fast-evolving player in the digital and retail technology space, is looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer (Automation-focused) to join their growing IT team.
This is not a traditional “test-only” role, it’s an opportunity to work closely with developers, product teams, and operations to embed quality across the full software development lifecycle. You’ll be building automation frameworks, influencing engineering standards, and shaping how quality is delivered at scale.

The environment is collaborative and values-driven, with a strong emphasis on continuous improvement, teamwork, and delivering high-quality digital solutions that directly impact real-world operations.

Why this role stands out:

Work on complex, business-critical systems with real-world impact
Be part of a team that values quality as much as delivery speed
Strong focus on automation and modern testing practices
Opportunity to influence CI/CD and engineering standards
Inclusive, people-first culture with a strong sense of collaboration
Exposure to cross-functional teams in a high-growth environment

If you’re exploring IT jobs, developer jobs, or jobs in information technology where you can truly specialise in quality engineering, this is a standout opportunity.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, build, and maintain robust QA processes, including automation frameworks, test plans, and test cases
Develop and execute automated test suites (functional, regression, integration, API) to ensure software quality at scale
Collaborate closely with developers, product, and operations teams to ensure requirements are testable and delivered to a high standard
Identify, track, and manage defects, working with engineering teams to resolve issues efficiently
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by integrating automated testing into build and deployment workflows
Support continuous improvement of QA processes, metrics, and testing strategies across the team

Job Experience and Skills Required:
Education
Relevant degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Experience
Proven experience in software QA / test engineering, with strong exposure to automation testing
Experience designing and implementing automated test frameworks and suites
Exposure to agile environments and full SDLC processes

Skills

Strong programming or scripting ability (C# highly advantageous)
Solid understanding of testing methodologies (functional, regression, integration, exploratory testing)
Experience with tools such as Selenium, Cypress, or similar frameworks
Familiarity with API testing, CI/CD pipelines, and version control (e.g. Git)
Experience with defect tracking and test management tools (e.g. Jira, TestRail)
Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills
