Who we are
Ippon is a global tech consulting firm. Originating in France, we are a group of more than 600 tech enthusiasts worldwide, guided by a collective energy and strong taste for challenge. 

Ippon Australia is a team of true technologists who leverage contemporary thinking and tools to enhance the way our clients drive value. Whether it’s a bespoke platform to improve employee engagement within a national retail chain, or developing an app that provides next level direct customer interaction; value is delivered to our clients when we begin by understanding the business outcomes they desire and then apply our technical expertise to make these a reality. Our areas of expertise include Experience Design & Delivery, Software Engineering & Cloud and Data Driven Architecture.

Our software developers work closely with business analysts, experience designers, product managers and data engineers to solve user problems and help deliver compelling experiences.

Responsibilities include:

    • Take full ownership of the quality assurance aspects of a project, ensuring quality deliverables are produced for our clients.
    • Write, execute, debug, and refactor test automation code, including:
    • Working closely with software developers to reach a common understanding of the code base and test coverage requirements.
    • Designing and developing automated testing solutions, from scratch.
    • Collaborating with analysts to make sure the required business scenarios are covered in the acceptance test scripts.
    • Designing, running, and managing effective testing techniques for both the functional features of an application as well as its non-functional parameters including speed, scalability, security, reliability, efficiency, useability, capacity, recoverability etc.
    • Experience with one or more of the following frameworks: Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, Puppeteer.
    • Experience testing both web-browser based solutions, as well as API-only based solutions.
    • Develop and implement clear quality assurance policies, plans and processes to support each phase of product development and ensure deliverables are tested to the required standard.
    • Regularly review requirements, specifications, technical design documents and track all quality assurance metrics to provide timely and meaningful feedback to the product team.
    • Create thorough test plans and manage the coordination and completion of all testing activities including regression testing.
    • Continually improve quality assurance techniques.
At Ippon, we see things differently both in terms of how we work with our clients and how we engage with our people. As we are a relatively small team, albeit part of a global consultancy, we are focussed on quality, not quantity, when it comes to both our clients and our people. From a client perspective, we work with a select group of enterprises that genuinely value the innovation and value that we deliver.
 
From a people perspective we pay market leading salaries. But we also understand that professional fulfilment is not just about money. We actively support ongoing development in the form of training, attendance at conferences, etc, and we provide staff with the opportunity to contribute to the development and strategic direction of the business. Work life balance is key and we are a flexible organisation, offering 4 day a week option to support your personal and professional development.
