Make your mark in a venture-backed cybersecurity start-up building cutting-edge identity protection software. This is your chance to help shape the QA and test strategy from the ground up while working with some of Australia’s most respected engineers.

💡 Why join?

Work in a fast-moving, well-funded scale-up founded by proven entrepreneurs (previous exit: $900M cash sale in 2017)

Contribute to the design and rollout of the testing roadmap across web, API, cloud, and mobile platforms

Enjoy flexibility – Sydney-based office, remote-friendly for the right candidate, supportive and lean engineering culture

We're developing a sophisticated digital identity platform that’s already generating serious enterprise interest. You’ll be joining at a key inflection point—backed by recent funding and with exciting product milestones ahead.

We’re looking for a hands-on QA Engineer who’s passionate about automated testing, performance tuning, and building things right from Day One.

🔍 What You'll Be Doing

Drive quality across the full software stack (web, cloud APIs, mobile apps)

Design and implement automated test frameworks from scratch

Lead performance testing across high-traffic, networked applications

Help build a scalable test strategy that supports continuous delivery

Collaborate closely with developers in a lean and pragmatic team

✅ Key Requirements

4+ years’ experience in manual and automation testing of web-based UI applications and APIs

Strong skills in performance testing of web apps, network protocols, and cloud-based distributed systems

Solid experience in cloud-native environments, preferably Linux/Unix-based

Proven experience in mobile app test automation

Familiarity with performance testing of databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis)

Comfortable setting up testing tools/frameworks from scratch

Excellent communication and a start-up-ready mindset (lean, hands-on, results-focused)

🌍 Location & Working Rights

Sydney-based candidates strongly preferred, but we’re open to fully remote applicants across Australia

You must have full, unrestricted working rights in Australia – sponsorship is not available

🧠 Bonus Points

Experience in high-throughput / low-latency environments

Previous start-up or scale-up experience

A genuine interest in cybersecurity and secure software development
