We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer who’s not just technically skilled, but also ready to take ownership of the QA space within one of our Frontend squads. This is a role for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment – working closely with engineers, product owners, and the wider Kiwibank community to ensure quality is embedded at every stage
You’ll be instrumental in building domain knowledge and documenting it in a way that’s clear, repeatable, and accessible – especially around setting up test data. While we already have an automation test suite, there will be a meaningful manual testing component as we continue to expand it – gaining deeper insights into the systems and identifying the most valuable opportunities for further automation
