Location: Auckland / Hybrid
Type: 6-Month Contract
The Opportunity: Are you a specialist in backend quality engineering? We are looking for a heavy-hitting Backend Automation Test Engineer to join one of New Zealand’s most recognizable digital brands during a massive, multi-stream digital transformation.
This isn't a "business as usual" role. You will be at the center of a complex ecosystem, driving integration testing for high-traffic services that reach hundreds of thousands of users daily.
Core Responsibilities
- Integration Leadership: Drive the integration testing strategy across multiple workstreams to ensure seamless communication between microservices.
- API Automation: Architect and execute sophisticated test suites primarily using Postman to validate complex backend logic.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Work deeply within AWS environments to monitor logs, validate data persistence, and ensure cloud-native stability.
- Collaboration: Partner with developers and architects to identify integration risks early in the SDLC within an Agile/DevOps culture.
Required Skills & Experience
- Postman Power-User: Advanced experience in Postman (including scripting, collection runners, and environment management) is non-negotiable.
- AWS Proficiency: Hands-on experience testing within AWS environments (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, etc.).
- Integration Specialist: Proven track record of testing complex, multi-stream digital transformations where "everything is moving at once."
- Automation Mindset: Ability to build reusable, scalable automation assets rather than just performing manual checks.
- Backend Mastery: A deep understanding of microservices architecture, contract testing, and asynchronous messaging.
Why This Role?
- Scale: Work on a platform with massive scale and high visibility.
- Complexity: Solve genuine engineering challenges involving high-concurrency and real-time data.
- Impact: Be a key player in a transformation that is reshaping how New Zealanders consume digital content.
