About CloudMarc

CloudMarc is a leading technology consultancy delivering Development, Quality Engineering, and Cloud Services to some of Australia's most recognised organisations. We pride ourselves on providing high-quality consultants who drive outcomes, challenge the status quo, and help our clients deliver world-class digital experiences.

The Opportunity

You will join a small, highly collaborative squad consisting of 4-5 developers, acting as the sole Quality Engineer within the team. This is an individual contributor role with QE Lead-level seniority, focused on driving quality across a backend services ecosystem that integrates with multiple systems including BFF layers, payment platforms, and enterprise backend services.

This is not a Selenium or UI testing role. We are looking for someone with deep API testing expertise and strong Java automation capabilities.

What You'll Be Doing

- Design, build, and maintain API automation frameworks using Java and REST Assured
- Perform hands-on API testing across complex backend integrations
- Execute manual API testing using Postman when required
- Build automation solutions from scratch where no framework currently exists
- Extend and improve existing automation frameworks and test coverage
- Drive an automation-first approach across the squad
- Collaborate closely with developers, architects, product teams, and stakeholders
- Identify opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, and delivery outcomes
- Manage test data and environment requirements proactively
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across Quality Engineering practices





Mandatory Skills & Experience

- Strong experience in API Testing (manual and automation)
- Advanced Java programming skills
- Proven expertise with REST Assured
- Strong experience with Postman
- Experience building automation frameworks from scratch
- Ability to enhance and maintain existing automation frameworks
- Solid understanding of modern software delivery practices and Agile environments
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills
- Self-driven and capable of working independently within a squad environment

Highly Desirable

- Experience within Payments, Banking, or Financial Services domains
- Experience using GitHub Copilot or AI-assisted engineering tools
- Exposure to complex enterprise integration environments
- Passion for driving automation and engineering excellence

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who believes automation is the default, not an afterthought. You'll be proactive, technically strong, and comfortable taking ownership of quality outcomes without requiring constant direction.

You'll enjoy solving complex problems, influencing teams, and helping shape how quality is delivered across critical platforms.

Why CloudMarc?

- Work with leading Australian enterprise organisations
- Join a consultancy known for Quality Engineering excellence
- High-impact role within a critical payments platform
- Collaborative engineering culture
- Opportunity to influence automation strategy and best practices
- Market-competitive salary and benefits package

If you're a Senior Quality Engineer who loves API automation, enjoys building frameworks, and wants to work on complex enterprise systems, we'd love to hear from you.
