Christchurch, New Zealand Xe Full time

**Description**

At Xe, we live currencies. We provide a comprehensive range of currency services and products, including our Currency Converter, Market Analysis, Currency Data API and quick, easy, secure Money Transfers for individuals and businesses. We leverage technology to deliver these services through our website, mobile app and by phone. Last year, we helped over 300 million people access information about the currencies that matter to them and over 225,000 people used us to send money overseas.

**ABOUT THIS ROLE**
Xe is seeking an Intermediate Test Engineer to join our team on a fixed term contract to provide maternity leave cover.
This role offers an exciting opportunity with a focus on test automation, primarily for APIs, with some involvement in front-end automation. However, automation is just one aspect—your work will also include manual testing, defect management, and documentation to support product quality.
We’re looking for a self-motivated, proactive individual who values clear communication and collaboration to achieve success.

**ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES**
- Establish and maintain strong relationships, ensuring clear and effective communication at all levels
- Identify, document, and track defects through to resolution
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations while maintaining best practices

**POSITION REQUIREMENTS**
To excel in this role, you should have:

- Recent experience scripting in a programming language (e.g. JavaScript, C#)
- Experience with automated testing frameworks
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical issues clearly
- API testing expertise, with hands-on experience using API testing tools (e.g. Postman)
- Proficiency in source control systems (e.g. Git) and experience working with build pipelines
- Strong systems analysis and troubleshooting skills
- A collaborative mindset for diagnosing and resolving testing challenges
- Experience working in an Agile environment, with a commitment to continuous improvement
- Effective time management and the ability to prioritize tasks efficiently
- Thorough understanding of functional and non-functional testing principles

**DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE & SKILLS**
- Competence in SQL query writing and understanding relational databases
- Familiarity with continuous integration tools (e.g. Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Exposure to performance testing
- Hands-on experience in a.NET development environment
- Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Background in the Finance domain, particularly in Foreign Exchange

**PERKS & BENEFITS**
- Paid day off for your birthday
- In-office fruit, snacks, drinks and coffee machine
- Access to a range of mental health and wellbeing resources through the Plumm platform

We want Xe to be a great place to work and to ensure that our communities are represented across our workforce. A vital part of this is ensuring we are a truly inclusive organization that encourages diversity in all respects.
The position responsibilities outlined above are intended to define the general contents and requirements to perform this job. It is not to be taken as a complete statement of responsibilities or requirements.
