At Cluey Learning, we're passionate about helping students achieve their potential through innovative technology and personalised learning experiences.

Test real-time learning experiences, including live classrooms, audio, video and session recordings.
Explore the future of AI testing
Develop testing approaches for AI and LLM-powered features.
Build automated evaluations to assess AI accuracy, consistency, reliability and safety.
Explore emerging AI testing tools and techniques to continuously improve engineering efficiency.
What You'll Bring
5+ years' experience in software quality engineering, including at least 3 years building test automation.
Strong hands-on experience with Playwright, TypeScript or similar modern automation frameworks.
Experience testing APIs, integrations and databases, including REST APIs and SQL.

About Cluey Learning
We make learning support accessible and convenient so that tutoring can be booked at a time that suits each child’s schedule. Learning sessions take place live and online via our learning platform, which means students can log in from the comfort of home and work with their expert tutor without interrupting the family schedule.
All of our content is mapped to the Australian National Curriculum and is based on the unique learning needs of each individual. In this way, Cluey programs cover the topics each student is learning in class and specifically addresses each child’s challenges. All sessions are recorded and can be re-watched for future reference, and parents can see what their child has learned.
Thanks to the online nature of our approach, we’re able to source, train and quality check the best tutors from around Australia and make them available to any student, regardless of whether they live on a farm, in a big city, or in a small town between Milly Milly and Murgoo.
- Over 1,000,000 learning sessions
- More than 33,000 students
- More than 2,500 expert tutors
