Cape Town City Centre: Quality Assurance Engineer (Automation Focused)

My client is looking for an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer to play a key role in building and maintaining high‑quality software solutions used at scale across a growing digital environment. This is not a tick‑box testing role, its for someone who enjoys thinking critically, writing automation, and influencing how software is delivered. Youll design and maintain automated test frameworks, build end‑to‑end test suites, and work closely with developers and product teams to ensure quality is considered early, not patched in at the end. Youll still get hands‑on with manual and exploratory testing where it adds value, especially for complex business flows and edge cases. This role suits someone who enjoys ownership, understands code, and wants to be part of a collaborative engineering culture where quality is taken seriously. Youll help shape QA processes, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and play a part in improving how teams test, release, and learn. This role fits squarely within IT jobs, information technology jobs, and automation‑focused jobs in IT, commonly sourced through specialist IT recruitment and IT recruitment agencies. Skills & Experience: Proven experience in software QA / test engineering, with strong exposure to automation testing Ability to write and maintain automated test scripts (ideally using C#) Experience designing and maintaining test frameworks, test plans, and test suites Solid understanding of SDLC, test methodologies, and QA best practices Comfortable performing manual, exploratory, regression, and edge‑case testing when needed Experience logging, tracking, and validating defects using test and issue‑tracking tools Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated test execution in build/deploy flows Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a quality‑first mindset Confident communicator who collaborates well with developers and product teams Qualification: Relevant IT qualification or equivalent practical experience Contact LIZAAN BUNNING on
