Join the Mission: Help a Leading Enterprise Redefine Quality at Scale
Twelve months. One high-impact mission. Endless opportunities to shape how testing is done in a complex, modern engineering environment.
A leading enterprise business in Sydney is calling for a Contract QA Automation Engineer — someone not just looking to write tests, but to leave a mark. Think of it as joining a journey in progress — one where the automation landscape is transforming, and your experience can accelerate that change.

What You’ll Walk Into You’ll step into a large-scale environment with critical platforms that touch millions of users. The automation foundation is there — but it needs a builder, a problem-solver, and a QA strategist to take it to the next level.
You’ll be owning automation across both API and UI, partnering with platform teams, devs, and testers to future-proof the testing strategy.

Your Quest: What You'll Be Doing

API Automation

  • Migrate and modernise existing API test suites (think Karate, Postman)
  • Review endpoints, automate from scratch, and integrate a pen-test proxy layer
  • Create robust mock environments to simulate real-world conditions

UI Automation

  • Enhance end-to-end user journeys using Playwright
  • Implement visual testing with Applitools
  • Build automation for payment workflows, account actions, and more

Overall Test Strategy

  • Expand regression test coverage
  • Define testing best practices for the broader engineering team
  • Investigate flaky tests and decommission outdated test systems

Your Toolkit To thrive, you’ll bring:

  • API automation expertise – Karate, Postman, or similar tools
  • UI automation skills – ideally in Playwright and Applitools
  • Experience shaping test strategies and frameworks
  • A proven background in enterprise-scale engineering environments

Why This Role? You won’t just be writing tests. You’ll be defining how quality is engineered in a complex, high-traffic system. This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, creative problem solving, and delivering high-impact work across multiple teams.
Location: Sydney
Duration: 12-month contract (strong chance of extension)
