Quality Assurance Engineer

Description

LIFX is looking for a talented Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Software Engineering Team in Melbourne, to help us evolve our testing processes and help deliver exciting new products, features, and experiences in 2025 and beyond.

You will work with product development teams to design the testing strategy, automate tests and ensure product quality. Additionally, you will be able to help replicate issues, analysing root causes and improving testing processes based on findings and insights.

Working as a part of the LIFX Engineering Team gives you the opportunity to work with consumer Internet of Things (IoT) products. At LIFX, you get the opportunity to get exposure to a broad technical stack, from the firmware on our devices, to our cloud infrastructure and public APIs.

LIFX was acquired in 2022 by a dominant player in the United States lighting and smart home industry, Feit Electric. Together under the LIFX brand, LIFX will deliver Product experiences which are unmatched in the industry. Feit Electric provides us with the stability of a large business, yet we will continue to maintain our start-up-like culture in our Product and Engineering teams.

LIFX is a small team, mostly based around Australia, with our main office in Richmond, Victoria. We offer flexible working hours and the opportunity to work from home as needed. As a creative business that takes product ideas from design to manufacturing, we place a high value on diversity of opinion and collaborative ways of working.
