About the role:
Drive quality through automation-first test strategy and coverage, catching defects pre-release and regressions post-ship. Shape sprint planning, scope, and effort estimation as the pod's sole QA, partnering with the broader QA group for design review and escalation.
What you'll be doing:
Own test strategy and automated test coverage for all features delivered by the AI Automation team
Analyse requirements and specifications to define test scope, surfacing gaps, ambiguities, and edge cases before development begins
Contribute to test input into sprint planning, refinement, and stand-ups, including effort estimates and test workplace requirements
Design test plans spanning functional, edge, and negative cases, prioritising depth on higher-risk areas
Build and maintain Playwright end-to-end tests (TypeScript or Python) for the team's features, starting with critical user journey
Triage, reproduce, and track client-reported bugs and escalated support tickets through to resolution
Share escalation load by participating in the QA escalation rotation across the SF360 and SI360 product group
Partner with the Product Manager, Business Analyst, developers,



and wider QA group to resolve issues and continuously improve testing practices
What we're looking for:
4+ years in software testing, including at least two years writing and maintaining automated test suites
Proficient in TypeScript or Python, with working knowledge of AWS and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
Demonstrated experience with Playwright or a comparable end-to-end framework
SQL beyond the basics, including multi-table joins and aggregation, to validate data independently
Hands on experience testing complex browser-based applications, ideally where data accuracy matters as much as how the interface behaves
Confident and curious with AI-assisted tooling, and able to recognise when its output is wrong. Exposure to Claude Code, Jira, or Confluence is an advantage
Communicates clearly verbally and in writing with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, producing defect reports precise enough for a developer to action without needing follow-up clarification
Able to work autonomously and own the QA role
Agile delivery experience preferred. Accounting, SMSF, or financial software experience or an ability to quickly learn industry-specific challenges
Collaborates with influence and partners closely with PM, BA, and Developers, and isn't afraid to challenge decisions to drive quality improvements
Owns beyond the brief and brings an entrepreneurial mindset to QA, actively shaping and improving practices across the wider product group
Please note we are only able to consider applicants with full working rights for Australia.
