About Us

Kia ora. We’re Foodies. You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us! With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co‑op helps New Zealanders get more out of life. Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve and celebrate our people – our taonga, every day for being uniquely them. Our Support Centre is over 1,000 people strong, including 300+ IT employees who ensure the co‑op’s systems stay ‘byte’-sized and ‘bug’-free.

About the Role

As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of our Agile Delivery Squad, ensuring our web and mobile apps exceed expectations. You won’t just test—you’ll innovate, automate, and elevate our quality standards. As part of the FSNI QA Practice, you’ll shape best practices and push the boundaries of what’s possible in testing.

What You’ll Do

• Own the quality – collaborate with your squad to embed excellence at every stage of development.
• Think beyond testing – design and execute high‑impact test plans that tackle complex business and technical challenges.
• Automate like a pro – build and enhance cutting‑edge test automation frameworks, driving an automation‑first mindset.
• Be a quality evangelist – work with your Lead(s) towards improvements, influence best practices, and drive innovation across FSNI’s QA Practice.
• Deliver seamless experiences – identify and resolve defects, optimise test environments, and proactively ensure flawless product releases.
• Test data identification – identify test data requirements across environments and work with your QA Lead to raise any test data dependency.

What We Offer

• Free car parking – we’ve got over 1,000 carparks including 36 free EV plugs.
• Southern Cross health insurance.
• On‑site café with subsidised meals, mini‑mart, 5% discount at our retail stores.
• Flexible working options, a day off on your birthday, long‑service leave.
• In‑house learning and development programmes and courses, flu vaccinations, and social network groups (“Tribes”).

About You

You’re a passionate QA professional who thrives in collaborative, Agile environments. You have a keen eye for detail, love solving complex challenges, and are always looking for ways to improve processes and automation. Your ability to communicate technical concepts effectively allows you to engage with stakeholders across the business, advocating for quality at every stage.

What You’ll Bring

• Technical expertise – proven experience in UI and API testing, Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), and test automation frameworks like Playwright, Appium, Cucumber/BDD, or Postman.
• Coding & CI/CD knowledge – comfortable with Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, and familiar with CI/CD tools such as Bamboo, GitHub, and Bitbucket.
• Problem‑solving mindset – strong understanding of defect management, software failures, and troubleshooting across squads and business units.
• Collaboration & communication – ability to work closely with cross‑functional teams, explain complex integrations, and advocate for quality‑focused solutions.
• Previous experience of working in e‑commerce is preferred.
