Kaluza reimagines energy to bring net-zero within everyone’s reach. The Kaluza Platform enables energy utilities to unlock the full value of a radically changing energy system and propel us to a future where renewable energy is sustainable, affordable and accessible for all.
From automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system.
We champion a flexible, hybrid work approach and we find that teams often benefit from coming together in the office at least 2-3 days a week to foster connection and accelerate progress.
Outside of these collaborative opportunities, we aim to be as flexible as possible to balance work with life. As a company we come together annually for our conference and end of year celebrations!
Our goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia. We’re well on our way, but until we get there we still have some reliances on our UK team. Being comfortable working flexibly for a portion of your working week to cover time zones is required.
What will I be doing?
You will be a part of an Agile cross-functional team within Kaluza’s Energy Retail platform. You will champion Quality and best testing practices at every stage of the software development lifecycle, from requirement analysis, through developing new features, to proving the solution is ready to be released to our clients.
You will be working with other Quality professionals to ensure that End to End testing is automated and that regression tests spanning multiple teams are up to date. Most of your work will consist of automating tests for our APIs and backend services, with little UI and manual testing.
About You
Ideally you’ll have/be
- Experience automating test suites for APIs in TypeScript or Javascript.
- Experience with API testing.
- Experience of software quality assurance lifecycle within Agile methodologies.
- Able to maintain and enhance test automation frameworks and pipelines.
- Experience with exploratory and other manual testing types.
- Working with developers to review automated unit/integration tests.
- Focused on continuous improvement of quality processes.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including development, product management, and client support, to ensure test coverage is met for all types of testing.
What will set you apart
- You are a strong communicator in verbal and written English
- You are comfortable working in a diverse team and relish any collaboration opportunities.
