Intermediate Test Engineer

Why You’d Like It
Imagine working on technology that covers the entire hardware-to-software lifecycle. This isn't your typical "web only" testing role; you’ll be getting hands-on with everything from silicon-level electronics to cloud-based applications. If you are naturally inquisitive and enjoy a role where your technical curiosity is rewarded with genuine variety, this Wairau Valley-based team offers a unique playground for your skills.

The Story
The development team is a tight knit group of 10, a mix of software and hardware engineers who value a "lightweight Agile" approach. They are looking for a new Software Tester to step in and become a key player in their quality process. This isn't a place for someone who wants to be a small cog in a massive corporate machine; it’s for someone who wants to take ownership of testing strategies and help a supportive team move faster and smarter.

Company Profile
Based in Auckland’s North Shore, this organisation is a specialist in power management technology. They maintain a friendly, sensible culture where collaboration is the norm rather than the exception. While they have the stability of an established business, the development environment remains fast-paced and flexible, avoiding the rigid red tape often found in larger firms.

• Familiarity with Jira and test management tools like Xray.
