Quality Engineer

At Squiz, we are building a cloud-based Digital Experience Platform (DXP) designed to power complex content management, optimization tooling, and platform services.

We are looking for a Quality Engineer to help maintain and deliver a high-quality product through the use of effective quality processes for software development.

This role requires a well-established quality professional who actively contributes to quality standards and processes within the engineering team, with hands-on experience across both manual and automated testing.

You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering environment where quality is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. Reporting to the Head of Quality and working alongside Quality Engineers, Software Engineers and other stakeholders, you’ll contribute to testing, automation and continuous improvement across the Squiz DXP.

You’ll work as part of a supportive Quality team, providing guidance to Junior Quality Engineers while assisting Senior Quality Engineers with quality initiatives and technical testing activities. The role is hands-on and collaborative, with plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas, develop your technical skills and help shape how quality is delivered across the team.

This is a permanent position open to anyone living on the east coast of Australia. We operate on a flexible, hybrid model, meaning you can balance working from home and collaborating with the team in a way that actually works for you.
