[29305] Quality Automation Engineer - Willing to start ASAP (Hybrid-Cubao)

At CI&T, we don’t just deliver digital experiences; we engineer quality into every product we ship. As part of our dynamic team, you’ll have the opportunity to safeguard the reliability, performance, and usability of end-to-end digital solutions for a diverse clientele, including some of Australia’s most well-known brands.

This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a major enterprise client's strategic initiative. You’ll embed automated testing, AI-assisted workflows, and modern test tooling into our delivery lifecycle, partnering across mobile, web, and platform teams to ensure quality is built in — not bolted on.

The ideal candidate will be part of a CI&T team working directly with clients. They will bring deep expertise in automated testing, hands-on experience with Playwright (web) and Maestro (mobile), and a working command of AI-driven workflows that accelerate test design, generation, and maintenance.

You will play a key role in defining test strategy, building automation frameworks, and validating quality across modern web applications, mobile apps, and broader digital ecosystems; projects that demand rigour.

Key Accountabilities:

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright (web) and Maestro (mobile) across iOS, Android, and Web platforms;

• Lead the adoption of AI-assisted testing practices; using GenAI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate test case generation, test data creation, scripting, and defect triage;

• Own the full testing lifecycle across iOS, Android, and Web platforms: review Acceptance Criteria for testability, define test strategy, and execute Functional, Regression, Exploratory, UI, and E2E testing;

• Contribute testing estimates for agile stories and epics, and embed automation effort within sprint planning;

• Create Acceptance Tests aligned to Acceptance Criteria in user stories, and translate them into automated checks where appropriate;

• Maintain project and story status via Jira; raise, track, and close defects with clear repro steps and supporting evidence;

• Own the pre-production quality gate to validate that all requirements and features have passed required testing, met acceptance criteria, and are signed off before any release to prod.

• Communicate defects with Developers and UX Designers, and work collaboratively through to resolution;

• Partner with BAs, Developers, Architects, and Scrum Masters to ensure requirements, UX, implementation, and testing remain fully synchronised;

• Continuously improve testing standards, automation frameworks, CI/CD integration, and quality reporting across the team;

• Proactively raise project risks and contribute to a quality-first culture across the delivery team.

• Set and maintain project priorities in coordination with Team Leads and Project Managers;

• Actively participate in project meetings, including kickoffs, inception workshops, standups, showcases, sprint retrospectives, and sprint planning sessions;

• Attend regular client meetings and provide value to clients through active meeting participation and sound technical advice;

• Keep your technical skills and knowledge up to date through proactive self-learning, including emerging trends in AI and test automation.
