We’re scaling our Product & Engineering organisation and expanding our Sydney hub, and we’re looking for our next Senior QA Engineer who wants to define and champion quality across a platform used by leading law firms around the world.
If you love understanding how systems behave, spotting issues early, and embedding quality into every stage of the development cycle, you’ll thrive here. You’ll work across manual and automated testing, test features spanning React / TypeScript and Ruby on Rails services, and play a key role in ensuring we ship reliable, high‑quality software at speed.
You’ll be embedded in a cross‑functional squad, collaborating closely with Engineers, Product, and Design to shape how features are scoped, tested, and delivered. This isn’t a “final checkpoint” QA role, it’s a quality‑at‑the‑source role with real influence.
We’re looking for someone with strong technical awareness, deep curiosity, and a high level of ownership — someone who raises the bar, communicates clearly, and uses AI to accelerate test design, automation, and analysis.
