Description
About Trideca Trideca is a specialist technology consultancy delivering outcomes across enterprise integration, digital transformation, data, and cloud. We partner with Australia's leading organisations to build, integrate, and scale mission-critical platforms. Our teams combine deep technical expertise with pragmatic delivery - we embed alongside clients, roll our sleeves up, and get things shipped. We are growing quickly, and we are selective about the people we bring on: we hire for craft, care and character. ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT Our client is an ASX-listed financial services group launching a new product into market. The squad is delivering a greenfield platform underpinned by an API-first integration pattern, replacing an earlier data-transformation-led approach. The work is hands-on, fast-moving, and under significant time-to-market pressure — testing maturity is being built up alongside delivery, and the QAs we appoint will help shape the testing framework. ROLE OVERVIEW A senior, hands-on Test Analyst who can test APIs in depth and also coordinate User Acceptance Testing, Business Verification Testing, and end-to-end business flow testing across an integrated platform launch. You will be one of two QAs in the squad and act as the bridge between the technical test layer and the business test layer — ensuring that what passes the API tests also stands up to the business journeys the platform is meant to support. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Across the squad Design, write, and execute test cases against API endpoints and end-to-end business flows. Validate data transposition and transformation logic as data flows across multiple integrated platforms. Raise, triage, and track defects with engineers; drive issues through to resolution at squad pace. Contribute to building the test framework and ways of working — the client's BAU testing capability is still being established. Partner closely with the BA, Tech Lead, and integration engineers in a small, high-cadence squad. Support a later automation sprint by structuring manual test assets so they translate cleanly into automated suites. Specific to this role Own coordination of UAT across business stakeholders — sequencing scenarios, scheduling cycles, capturing outcomes, and chasing closure on issues. Run Business Verification Testing (BVT) ahead of go-live to confirm production readiness against real-world business journeys. Map end-to-end business flows across the integrated platform and ensure each flow has clear test coverage at both API and business-process layers. Augment the Test Lead's capacity by acting as the day-to-day point of contact for testing-related stakeholder questions. WHAT YOU BRING Must-have Strong hands-on experience as a technical test analyst on integration-heavy programs. Demonstrable depth in API testing — request construction, response validation, status/error handling, schema and contract validation. Proven ability to test data transposition and transformation across multiple systems. Comfort working in a small, senior squad with limited existing test framework — sets the bar rather than waits for one. Excellent stakeholder communication, with the credibility to push back on engineers and product when defects are deferred. Australian working rights and the ability to work hybrid from a Melbourne CBD client site. Demonstrable experience coordinating UAT and/or BVT cycles on complex, multi-system programs. Strong workshop and stakeholder facilitation skills — able to walk business users through test outcomes and decisions. Track record of testing end-to-end business flows on integration-heavy platforms, not just isolated services. Nice-to-have Exposure to financial services, wealth, superannuation, or insurance domains. Familiarity with API automation tooling (Postman/Newman, RestAssured, Karate, Playwright API, or equivalent). Experience standing up testing frameworks from scratch in low-maturity environments. CI/CD pipeline integration of test suites (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI). Why Choose Trideca?
