Test Engineer

xrecruiter gives experienced recruiters the tools, coaching, branding, and back-office support to start, run, and grow their own agencies—without building the overhead from scratch. Partners rely on the platform every day to win work, place candidates, and run a real business. As Test Engineer, you make sure those journeys hold up: fewer surprises in production, faster confident releases, and a product recruiters can trust when their livelihood depends on it.

Performance Objectives

- Protect the critical partner journeys—onboarding, pipeline, placements, and back-office workflows—so major releases ship without blocking defects that stop a recruiter from running their desk.
- Turn product intent into clear acceptance criteria and test coverage before build starts, cutting rework and late surprises with Product and Engineering.
- Build and maintain automated regression for the highest-risk flows so the team can release frequently without manual retesting of the same paths.
- Find and clearly report defects early, with reproducible steps and business impact, and drive them to a fix or an explicit risk decision.
- Measure quality in outcomes—escaped defects, release confidence, and time to verify a change—and use those signals to focus testing where partners feel pain.
- Pressure-test new features with real recruiter scenarios, including edge cases in permissions, data, and multi-step workflows, before they reach the partner network.

Workplace & Resources

You will work with a small product and engineering team in Brisbane on a hybrid schedule, reporting into the engineering lead. This is an early-stage platform, not a rigid,



pre-built QA factory. You will help shape how we test, what we automate, and how quality shows up in release decisions. You will have direct access to the people building the product and to partner feedback—not a ticket queue three teams away.

Essential Qualifications

- Proven ability to own quality on a live web product: plan coverage, execute it, and stop critical issues reaching users.
- Hands-on test automation for UI or API flows, with judgement about what is worth automating.
- Skill writing precise bug reports and acceptance criteria that engineers and product people can act on.
- Comfort testing complex, stateful workflows—not only happy paths—and explaining risk in plain language.
- Self-motivated in a small team: you set the standard, track your own work, and improve the process as you go.
- Recruitment, staffing, or B2B SaaS exposure is a plus; you must be able to learn how recruiters actually work.

Role Selling Points

- Shape the test function from the ground up as the partner network grows across Australia.
- See your work in a product recruiters use to run their own businesses—not a feature buried in a large suite.
- Direct mentorship and tight collaboration with Product and Engineering, with room to influence what ships.
- Hybrid Brisbane role inside a focused, early-stage team building a recruitment operating model, not just another tool.
