Contract Duration- 6 Months+ (Up to 12 Months +)
Daily Rate/Salary: Competitive and aligned with current market standards.
About the role
We're looking for a meticulous QA Engineer who treats attention to detail as non-negotiable. You'll own the quality of software running across mobile apps, web platforms, and physical hardware devices, catching the edge cases and defects others miss before they reach a customer.
You'll work autonomously, planning and running your own testing from start to finish, and you'll be the key link between our support and development teams when incidents come up. This is a hands-on, manual-first role. Exploratory testing, well-structured test plans, and careful verification matter more here than building automation suites.
What you'll do
Write and run detailed manual test cases across web, mobile, and hardware devices
Plan, design, and run your own testing independently, with minimal oversight
Act as the conduit between the support and development teams during incidents, reproducing and escalating issues and keeping both sides informed through to resolution
Run exploratory and edge-case testing to catch defects that scripted tests miss
Test on physical devices, including handheld and rugged devices and barcode scanners, under real-world conditions




Run functional, regression, and end-to-end testing ahead of each release
Coordinate and support UAT across test, staging, and production environments
Log and track defects clearly in Jira, and work with developers to get them resolved
Work with developers, product managers, and designers to understand requirements and agree the test approach early
Check API behaviour and backend responses (Postman or similar)
Feed into release planning and call out quality risks early
What we're looking for
Exceptional attention to detail. You catch the one-pixel misalignment and the off-by-one error, and you won't sign off until it's right
Proven experience maintaining live products across multiple platforms for active clients
A self-starter who works autonomously and can take testing from planning through to execution
Solid experience in manual and functional testing of web and mobile applications
A methodical approach to test coverage and defect reproduction
Ability to write clear test cases, bug reports, and reproduction steps anyone can follow
Comfortable being the bridge between support and engineering, staying calm under incident pressure and communicating clearly with both sides
Experience with Jira or a similar issue-tracking tool
Solid written and verbal communication
Melbourne-based and able to travel to client sites from time to time
Required:
Immediate joiner or available to join within 2 to 3 weeks after selection.
Work Permit Holder for Australia or Australian Nationals.
