Senior Quality Automation Engineer at Re-Leased
New Zealand
<p data-renderer-start-pos="51"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Does redefining what Quality looks like in the age of AI — on a brand-new AI product — make you tick?</strong></p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="154">At Re-Leased our vision is to shape the future of Commercial Real Estate and drive better outcomes for people, property and planet. We're now building <strong data-renderer-mark="true">am:pm</strong> — an agentic AI product for commercial real estate operators.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="374">Property managers run their portfolios on a system of record like Re-Leased, but most of the actual work happens outside it — emails, phone calls, follow-ups, to-do lists scattered across tools, with no system behind them. am:pm is the system of action for that work: it captures the work to be done as jobs and tasks, grounded in the communication channels, memories, and documents that surround the portfolio — so the work itself finally has a home.

The squad is small, the stack is new, and we're moving fast.</p> <h2 id="Your-Role" data-renderer-start-pos="970">Your Role</h2> <p data-renderer-start-pos="981">We're looking for a senior quality automation engineer to own the quality system for am:pm — based in Napier or remote from another city in New Zealand. The whole squad owns quality; you build the automation, quality controls, and practices that make that possible. This is an automation-led role: engineers write unit and integration tests, and you shape where automated coverage sits across the test pyramid and steward the end-to-end suite, with AI as a core part of how you work — generating tests, triaging failures, creating test data. We're also moving to continuous delivery, and a core part of this role is making that safe — the right level of automated quality controls so changes flow to production with confidence.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1710">And because am:pm <em data-renderer-mark="true">is</em> an AI product, quality means testing agentic behaviour: non-deterministic outputs, tool use, statistical rather than binary correctness. Engineers write the evals — just as they write unit and integration tests — and you bring the quality lens: when evals are the right control, and what they need to catch.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2040">This is a small-team, start-up environment inside an established SaaS business — less process, more agency, and a tight feedback loop with real customers.</p> <h2 id="Your-Responsibilities" data-renderer-start-pos="2196">Your Responsibilities</h2> <ul class="ak-ul" data-indent-level="1"> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2221">Drive quality automation across the test pyramid — set where coverage sits so tests run at the layer that's cheapest and most reliable — and steward the end-to-end suite: curate what earns a place in it, and set the standards engineers follow when contributing tests of their own</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2504">Support our move to continuous delivery — design the right level of automated quality controls (pipeline gates, smoke checks, release signals) so we can release frequently without slowing the flow of change</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2714">Use AI tooling as a first-class part of your workflow — test generation, bug triage, test data creation — and keep raising the bar on how the team uses it</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="2872">Curate AI-generated tests and findings — decide what to keep, reject, or refine, applying your own testing judgment rather than accepting output wholesale</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3030">Shape how we test AI-powered features — advise on when evals are the right quality control and what they should cover, and contribute adversarial and edge-case scenarios; engineers write and own the evals themselves</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3249">Partner with engineers on acceptance criteria and coach them on designing test scenarios from a user's perspective — positive paths, negative paths, edge cases</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3412">Run exploratory and risk-based testing to find what automation misses, and feed production bugs back into automation at the layer that would have caught them</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3573">Analyse quality workflows — triage, release, escape defects — and drive structural improvements, reporting on quality signals so the squad always knows where quality stands</p> </li> </ul> <h2 id="Your-Experience" data-renderer-start-pos="3749">Your Experience</h2> <ul class="ak-ul" data-indent-level="1"> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3768">5+ years of QA experience in a SaaS product environment, with automation at the centre of how you work</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="3874">Track record of designing test automation frameworks from the ground up — architecture, tooling choices, conventions — and building the JavaScript/TypeScript end-to-end suites (e.g. Playwright, Cypress) that run on them</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4097">Comfortable working in a production codebase — Git, branches, PRs, code review — and able to read code well enough to locate and understand the surface under test</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4263">CI/CD fluent — you understand what runs when and where tests fit, with a clear point of view on the quality controls that make continuous delivery safe: pipeline gates, smoke checks, rollback signals</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4466">Actively using AI tools in your workflow today — and opinions on where they're strong and where they aren't</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4577">Genuine interest in testing AI products: you've thought about (or worked on) how to test non-deterministic systems, and evals excite you rather than scare you</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4739">Strong exploratory testing instincts and sound test-pyramid judgment — you find the bugs automation can't, and you know where automation investment pays off and where it doesn't</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4920">Comfortable with ambiguity, change, and making calls with incomplete information — you're drawn to small teams and early-stage product work</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5063">A genuine focus on the customer outcome, not just the test count</p> </li> </ul> <h2 id="Bonus" data-renderer-start-pos="5131">Bonus</h2> <ul class="ak-ul" data-indent-level="1"> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5140">Experience with LLM eval frameworks — golden datasets, judge models, statistical thresholds</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5235">Experience with adversarial testing of AI systems — prompt injection, jailbreaks, hostile inputs</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5335">API testing chops (REST), performance or accessibility testing experience</p> </li> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5412">Prior start-up or zero-to-one product experience</p> </li> </ul> <h2 id="Our-Stack-&-How-We-Work" data-renderer-start-pos="5464">Our Stack & How We Work</h2> <p data-renderer-start-pos="5489">am:pm is built on .NET 8, Vue 3, SQL Server and a growing set of AI services on Microsoft Azure.
