We're a Kiwi-owned company that's been around since 1989. Our work facilitates high-performance supply chains for a number of customers including Mainfreight, Qube, HW Richardson, and Booths, plus we keep millions of orders and data points flowing for Foodstuffs.

• Identify, document, and track software defects using bug tracking systems.
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and clients to ensure high-quality software releases.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes and methodologies.
• Create and maintain detailed test documentation, including test plans, test cases, and test reports.
• Contribute to automated testing strategies.

Skills and Experience:

• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies and best practices, including automated, manual, security, and performance testing.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• You will have experience with:
• Testing web applications built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript, and C# is highly beneficial.
• Testing APIs and React Native mobile applications.
• Playwright and JMeter is an advantage.
• DevOps Pipelines is an advantage.
• Familiarity with the Microsoft tech stack (.NET, SQL) is a plus.

What's in it for you?

• Fast-track your career: We reward initiative and performance with rapid advancement opportunities.
• Never a dull moment: Enjoy diverse projects and challenges.
• Positive vibes only: Our flat team structure fosters a collaborative and energetic atmosphere.
• Work your way: Benefit from flexible working arrangements.
• Grow beyond coding: Develop valuable soft skills through dedicated training.
• Have some fun: Enjoy regular social events, "Fun Food Evenings," and a well-stocked fridge.

We offer a rewarding and engaging work experience where you can grow professionally and personally.
