About The Position

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is looking for several Functional Automation Testers to join their team. These roles are crucial for delivering manual and automated testing activities to support AMSA's digital transformation initiatives, specifically focusing on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform applications. The testers will work within AMSA's Testing Practice, ensuring the quality, reliability, and usability of business solutions like Power Pages, Power Apps, and Dataverse-based solutions and their associated business processes. The successful candidates will be part of the inflight myAMSA portal project program, which aims to improve customer experience, streamline business processes, and enhance data capability through a digital-first approach to maritime regulation. The role requires the ability to quickly learn new business processes, applications, and technologies, manage testing across multiple projects with competing priorities, work independently, and contribute to a high-performing team. A significant part of the role involves designing, developing, executing, and maintaining automated regression tests for both UI and API/integration layers, ensuring these tests are integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Strong UI and API testing experience, along with proficiency in modern testing and development tools, is essential for delivering high-quality business outcomes.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience testing Microsoft Dynamics 365 and/or Power Platform applications (Power Pages, Power Apps, Dataverse) and their associated business processes.
Ability to analyze requirements, design test scenarios, execute tests, manage defects, and support end-to-end business process validation.
Demonstrated experience performing UI, functional, integration, system, regression, and user acceptance testing across web-based and enterprise applications.
Strong understanding of testing methodologies and best practices.
Strong experience in test automation and modern testing tools, covering both UI regression testing and API/integration testing.
Experience with UI regression testing: design, development, execution, and maintenance of automated UI test suites for enterprise applications, particularly Dynamics 365/Power Platform, using Playwright, Selenium, EasyRepro, or similar automation frameworks.
Experience with API/integration testing: automating validation of backend services and integrations (e.g., API Management-fronted APIs, Dataverse plugins/custom APIs, authentication flows) using tools such as Postman/Newman, REST Assured, or Playwright's API testing capabilities.
Demonstrated experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps), so tests execute automatically as part of build and release processes rather than solely on manual trigger.
Demonstrated proficiency with Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Azure DevOps, source control, defect management, and test management and reporting practices.
Demonstrated understanding of Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) principles and Agile delivery methodologies.
Experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.
Demonstrated adaptability and flexibility, with the ability to move between projects, technologies, testing phases, teams, and business domains as organisational priorities change.
Must have Baseline security clearance.
