Senior Tester

AI gives our people more time to care, connect and change lives.

We believe in using technology to give people more time to care, connect and change lives. AI doesn't replace the human touch – it enables it. By reducing repetitive tasks and increasing access to insights, we're freeing up time for our people to focus on what matters most: delivering better support and outcomes for our clients. At Trilogy Care, we're not just tweaking an old system – we're rebuilding the future of aged care from the ground up, powered by AI, automation and cloud-native tech. As an industry first-mover in practical AI, we've embedded real autonomy, experimentation and velocity into the heart of our tech team. Every employee from Development to front-line care has access to generative AI tools at their fingertips. You'll be part of a fast-growing product and engineering function solving deeply human challenges with modern tools, agile ways of working, and a chance to create real social impact.

As a Senior Tester, you'll lead the testing strategy and quality practices across our digital platforms – including web, mobile, and API layers. You'll play a pivotal role in cross-functional delivery teams, ensuring quality is embedded from design through to release. Bringing deep automation expertise and a risk-based mindset, you'll design and implement scalable automation frameworks, support exploratory testing, and champion CI pipeline integration. You'll also advise on testability during design, ensuring releases meet functional, performance, and accessibility standards.

If you're fluent in tools like Playwright and Cypress, and passionate about influencing quality across the entire delivery lifecycle, this role is for you. You'll guide developers, testers, and product owners on quality risks, test coverage, and release readiness – while continuously evolving how we test, measure, and deliver great software.

What You'll Do

Demonstrate deep understanding of how AI enables faster responses, better outcomes, less admin, and a future-facing aged care industry and take a lead role in designing, developing, deploying and maintaining AI-driven solutions across the organisation.
