We Go Beyond for A Safer World

Te Tūranga - The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Testing Analyst to play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our SaaS-based service enablement platform. This platform integrates multiple systems to streamline business and customer workflows, and product quality is critical to its success.

This is a hands-on role where you will design and execute comprehensive testing strategies - both automated and manual - with a strong focus on SaaS workflows, APIs, and cloud-native integrations. You will work closely with engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure seamless delivery.

While your primary focus will be testing and quality assurance, you will also contribute to process improvements, user documentation, and operational readiness.

This is more than just a testing role: you will take ownership of solutions by understanding requirements end-to-end, ensuring products are robust and reliable, and championing a culture of quality across the team. You will thrive in an environment of high ambiguity, helping the team move forward productively while continually improving how we test and deliver.

In this role, you will:

• Design, develop, and document comprehensive test plans and test cases for SaaS workflows, integrations, and APIs.
• Perform functional, regression, and performance testing to identify limitations, errors, and risks across cloud-based products.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and track faults, working with developers on resolutions.
• Participate throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring quality is built in from the start.
• Write and maintain user documentation and operational procedures where required.
• Test the integrity and performance of new products in networked environments.
• Recommend, devise, and implement fixes and improvements.
• Collaborate with team members and stakeholders to deliver reliable business outcomes.
• Champion quality and continuous improvement across products, processes, and practices.

Ō pūkenga - About You

To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• A relevant tertiary qualification and/or significant experience in software testing or quality assurance.
• Proven experience designing and executing test plans for SaaS applications, integrations, and APIs. Solid understanding of software development processes and best practices, ideally in Agile or DevOps environments.
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks and tools, with the ability to identify opportunities to increase automation coverage.
• Experience testing integrated systems and cloud-based applications in distributed or networked environments. Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across cross-functional teams.
• A passion for quality and detail, with a proactive, continuous improvement mindset.
