Test Engineer

We are looking for intermediate, and senior level, Automation Test Engineers who are detail-oriented and put quality in the forefront.

Part of an agile team, working across various parts of the extensive Vista product set, you'll focus on frontend and backend features and functionality, and gain knowledge in a broad range of tooling, supporting your journey to become a great test engineer.

These roles would suit test engineers with a good mix of manual and automation experience. Exposure to C# and SpecFlow, or 3rd party payment integrations, would be of particular interest.

About the role

• Ensure that testing deliverables are effective and measurable, for efficiency and accuracy
• Assist in the creation and maintenance of our System Test strategy
• Work closely with, and help guide, a dynamic and very collaborative team
• Test backend and front-end applications
• Ensure System Test Frameworks are fit for purpose, efficient, scalable, and maintainable and applicable to the CI/CD strategy
• Ensure automation code is treated as production code and meets re-usability and standardisation
• Set up performance testing scenarios and run to simulate loads for concurrent users

Requirements

We have a lot of sophisticated software and need clever, fast-thinking problem solvers who enjoy making sense of complexity and achieving results in good time.

• Good understanding of black box testing, white box testing, and test automation
• Proven development experience with programming languages and concepts (C#, Powershell script)
• Proven experience delivering complex automated test solutions to budget, time, and quality
• Experience working in a CI/CD environment across multiple environments
• Familiar with networks, performance, and secure software coding practices
• Practical, and current, experience with a range of open source and commercial test automation technologies (e.g. SpecFlow, Cucumber, JMeter) across modern front-end, back-end, and Cloud environments

For this role, we are currently only considering applicants with the right to live and work in New Zealand without the need for employer sponsorship.
