Job Summary

Senior solution quality leadership role Owning end-to-end solution quality assurance at a pivotal point of platform evolution

At SPARK TSL, our mission is simple: making life better, with connections that matter.

We build technology solutions that operate in regulated, real-world environments where reliability, security, and quality genuinely matter - not just to customers, but to the people who depend on our systems every day.

We're now looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join us at a critical point in the evolution of our technology platform. We are evolving from a feature-focused development model to a managed solution and AI centric delivery model. As development velocity increases, QA must evolve alongside it. This is not a traditional feature-level testing role. This is a senior position responsible for solution quality across the organisation.

If you're looking for a role where quality has real consequences, where AI and automation are key, and where your judgement genuinely shapes outcomes - this is an opportunity to make your mark.
