About Us

ThoughtWorks is a fast growing technology consultancy with an enviable track record of delivering real business value. Our Australian operation has been around for over seven years and we employ around 100 people. We're in a period of growth and we're currently looking to hire exceptional QA Consultants in both our Sydney and Melbourne offices to help us continue to delight our clients.

If you join, you'll play a varied role in a really fast growing, unhierarchical consultancy. This is the place to be if you want to apply your knowledge of testing in a variety of client environments while constantly using the latest methodologies and technologies. You'll get to work alongside truly talented teams and help them enhance their performance by bringing quality assurance to the forefront of clients' minds. As well as ensuring the bug-free delivery of custom built software, you will also be working with clients to advise them on improving their test processes and teaching them about the very latest from the QA world.

Our test processes are very different to many organisations. Testers are involved from the initial requirements gathering through implementation to deployment. One of the team is always around to ask the awkward questions and try the scenarios that analysts or developers are unlikely to dream up. They are involved when analysts are capturing requirements in the form of user stories. These stories are then converted into acceptance tests outlining specific scenarios. Testers play a big part in making sure those tests are well defined and complete so that developers know when they have finished implementing the functionality defined in a story.

We take our hiring very seriously, so to be considered you'll have experience of the following:

• Be a very hands-on tester who is comfortable across a whole range of functional testing including UAT, acceptance and system testing with tools like Fit, Fitnesse, Silk, Winrunner or any other automation tool
• Experience of participating in full life cycle development right from the requirements gathering and analysis phase
• Have worked on large, long term projects (more than 10 people, longer than 6 months)
• Enjoyment of working closely with developers, analysts and clients in a highly collaborative environment
• Exceptional communication skills
• An unrivalled passion for delivery

The following are also highly desirable:

• Experience of creating test frameworks and strategy, choosing automated testing tools and creating testing standards
• Experience of, or interest in working with Open Source testing tools like Selenium and Sahi
• A knowledge of testing within an Agile development environment
• A background in OO development
• A track-record of innovation in testing
• Experience of working in an onsite, consultancy environment

The small print...

We like to do things differently here, so we're seeking a creative approach to problem-solving and the QA space in general. If you are interested in taking on an opportunity that offers variety and challenge every day and helping ThoughtWorks really innovate in the testing space, then we should talk.

ThoughtWorks is able to offer Visa Sponsorship for candidates and, as a global business, can offer opportunities to work overseas.
