Job Description

We are tech transformation specialists, uniting human expertise with AI to create scalable tech solutions.With over 8.000 CI&Ters around the world, we've built partnerships with more than 1,000 clients during our 30 years of history. Artificial Intelligence is our reality.

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.
