Senior Test Automation Engineer

Salary: Attractive salary + annual bonus + insurance perks

Help us build Ando's automation capability from the ground up

At Ando, we're not just looking for someone to write automated tests. We're looking for a senior engineer who can help shape how quality engineering is done across our business.

This is a newly created role and a genuine opportunity to make your mark. You'll be our first dedicated Test Automation Engineer, taking the lead on designing and building scalable automation frameworks, establishing best practices, and helping our team of talented Test Analysts grow their automation capability.

This role would suit a Software Engineer who has specialised in test automation, rather than someone whose experience has been solely within manual testing.

What you'll be doing

• Build and own Ando's test automation framework using Playwright and TypeScript

• Increase automation coverage across our web and API platforms while embedding quality throughout the delivery lifecycle

• Mentor and coach our team of Test Analysts, helping lift automation capability across the business

• Champion automation best practices and help shape Ando's automation-first approach

What we're looking for

• A strong software engineering background with experience building and delivering software

• Proven experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks from scratch

• Highly proficient with Playwright and TypeScript - this is essential

• Experience automating web, API and CI/CD testing in modern Agile environments

• A natural coach and mentor who enjoys developing others and influencing best practice

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams

Why Ando?

Ando has grown a lot since our start-up days, but we haven’t lost the mindset that got us here. We are built on hustle, curiosity and a healthy bias towards getting sh*t done - and that’s still very much part of who we are. We move quickly, back people to make things happen and aren’t afraid to challenge the way things have always been done.

It’s a pretty fun place to build things from the ground up. Not to mention we have some great perks, including:

• Hybrid working and flexibility that supports life outside of work

• A $500 annual wellbeing allowance

• Comprehensive Life & Income Protection Insurance + Discounted Home, Contents & Car Insurance

• Brand new and very flash office facilities including a gym, sauna, Pilates studio and even a golf simulator!

Ready to make your mark?

Opportunities to build something from the ground up don't come along often. If you're excited by the challenge of creating Ando's automation capability, mentoring others, and influencing how quality engineering is done across the business, we'd love for you to apply!
