Title: Senior Automation Test Engineer (Agentic AI + Test Automation)
Location: Sydney
Job type: Permanent, WFH hybrid
Salary: $190k + super

About:

Most "AI-powered QE" roles mean someone once asked ChatGPT to write a test case. This one doesn't. I'm working with a leading fintech group, who are building a high performing tech platform. I am looking for a Senior Automation Test Engineer who builds agentic AI into how quality actually gets done and wants to shape how a whole engineering org uses agentic AI.


What you'll be doing:


  • Building, maintaining and improving TypeScript UI and Java/Gherkin API test frameworks
  • Designing and building agentic AI workflows (think Claude Code) to automate test planning, generation and maintenance
  • Integrating automated testing into CI/CD so teams test early and often without slowing delivery
  • Acting as the go-to quality and automation SME for dev teams: test planning, pair programming, PR reviews and shift-left guardrails
  • Building one-click, self-service workflows so teams can automate their own features
  • Upskilling engineers at all levels on AI, quality and automation through workshops, presentations and docs

What you'll bring:

  • Strong experience building modern test automation frameworks in TypeScript (UI) and Java/Gherkin (API)
  • Hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions, not just using AI assistants. Custom workflows, agents, MCP integrations or AI-driven test pipelines all count.
  • Solid CI/CD experience embedding automated quality gates
  • Confidence influencing and coaching dev teams, and enjoying the enablement side as much as the coding

Bonus points:
  • Karate, Playwright, Applitools or Gatling
  • Non-functional testing know-how (security, performance)
  • AWS or GCP
  • Australian strata or property domain experience
