Supporting a major Australian insurer on their Consumer Lines Pricing (CLP) platform, looking to engage a Specialist, Testing (QA/Tester) to join an established quality team focused on pricing rules, premiums, and configuration accuracy across a live insurance product.
This is a hands‐on role split roughly evenly between manual and automation testing. You'll carry a manual testing workload, designing and executing test cases, managing defects, and supporting releases, alongside running, debugging and extending the team's existing Python-based automation coverage. This isn't a framework-building or architecture role.
The role
Manual test case design and execution across feature, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing, including managing the test data journey end-to-end for pricing and rating scenarios
Testing pricing rules, premiums, and configuration changes for accuracy across scenarios, including rating functionality within the Guidewire UI
Running and debugging existing automated test cases (backend API and frontend UI), and adding additional test cases to the existing Python-based framework using Bruno for API testing
Performing maintenance on existing automated test cases
Estimating test timeframes and communicating test data / environment requirements
Raising and managing defects in Jira, with reporting via Xray and Confluence
Contributing to the team's testing practices and knowledge sharing across the wider testing capability
What we're looking for
Genuine domain exposure to insurance systems,



ideally pricing or premium/rating systems. This is a mandatory requirement for this engagement, not just a preference
Hands‐on experience testing pricing/rating functionality within the Guidewire UI (PolicyCenter or equivalent)
Experience with a rate engine is required; direct experience with Earnix specifically is strongly preferred
Solid experience writing and executing manual test cases from requirements and user stories.
Proficient with Jira, Xray, and Confluence for defect logging, tracking, and reporting
Hands‐on exposure to backend API testing, with a working API automation framework in Python and Bruno or Postman
Comfortable running and contributing to an existing Python-based automation framework across API and UI, not expected to design or build a framework from the ground up
Comfortable working in an Agile environment, collaborating on requirements delivered as user stories
Good understanding of web technologies, including UI concepts, APIs, XML, and JSON
Desirable: familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, GitHub)
Engagement
Hybrid working, Sydney or Melbourne based. Genuinely flexible on location
Fast-moving process. Candidates who can start straight away will be prioritised
If you've got hands‐on insurance or pricing-systems testing experience, a solid manual testing background, and enough automation exposure to run and extend an existing framework, we'd like to hear from you.
