THE ROLE

Megaport is looking for an energetic, independent, self managing Software QA Engineer to create and run manual and automated testing on the in-house developed software systems. There are many active software projects ongoing, so this is a great opportunity to get involved at the requirements gathering stage to ensure high quality delivery from the very start.
We are looking for someone who leaps out of bed and says “give me your API, and I shall break it, so you can make it better”; someone who doesn’t stop at making sure the UI is functional, but also that it is usable, performant and accessible. The right person will champion automation, not just “automate all the things”, but considerate and thoughtful automation.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• The primary focus of this role is to work as a member of the development team to maintain and improve the quality of the systems being deployed
• Understand requirements, specifications, and how Megaport products work in general as the basis for formulating effective automated and manual tests
• Create and maintain comprehensive and effective test plans and test cases
• Design, implement and maintain automated test suites
• Stay up-to-date with new testing tools and test strategies.
