Join a supportive Auckland team as a QA Engineer. Drive API automation in C#, use AI tools, and enjoy great hybrid flex and perks.
Why You’d Like It
How about joining a team where QA isn’t an afterthought at the end of a sprint, but a core driver of software quality? You’ll get hands-on with cutting-edge AI dev tools, work alongside supportive backend squads, and take home a competitive package with awesome perks, all while working in a low-ego, highly collaborative team.

The Story
As part of an ongoing push to shift quality practices left, this tech group is elevating how they test their backend microservices. Because the majority of their core architecture is written in .net/C#, the goal is to bring automated testing right next to the source code. You’ll step in as the dedicated C# and API automation specialist, collaborating across three active dev teams to ensure quality is baked in from day one.

Company Profile
Behind the scenes of one of New Zealand's most essential infrastructure networks is a forward-thinking software engine. They prioritise people, safety, and continuous learning above all else. From running internal AWS and Microsoft AI workshops to hosting monthly morning teas and team lunches, they’ve built a supportive workplace where technical enthusiasm meets genuine work-life balance.

Your Role
You will partner closely with developers and product owners to design, build, and maintain robust automated test suites embedded directly within the C# codebase.
  • Design and implement API and workflow automation using C# and Playwright.
  • Advocate for unit testing and a "shift-left" quality mindset across three dev squads.
  • Utilise AI developer tools (like GitHub Copilot and OpenAI) to accelerate test creation and exploration.
  • Maintain healthy CI/CD pipelines where a green build means software is genuinely ready to ship.
  • Share knowledge, mentor team members, and help shape the long-term test strategy.
Benefits
  • Salary & Perks: Competitive salary plus corporate discounts (health, tech, mobile).
  • Work-Life Balance: Hybrid flexibility (3 days in office / 2 remote) with flex core hours (9:30am–3:00pm) and free onsite parking.
  • Perks & Culture: Birthday leave, monthly morning teas, team lunches, and an active social committee.
  • Learning & Tech: Continuous upskilling with dedicated AWS, Microsoft, and AI tools workshops.
Your Fit
You’re a proactive QA Engineer with solid experience in C# and API test automation. You like getting close to the code, possess a curious mindset, and enjoy exploring modern tools like Playwright and AI assistants. Most importantly, you thrive in a collaborative team culture where sharing knowledge and continuous improvement are part of the daily routine.
