About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Test Architecture & Frameworks: Design, build, and scale robust, maintainable test automation frameworks from the ground up for our backend microservices (APIs), web platforms, and mobile applications (iOS and Android).
  • Comprehensive Automation: Drive functional, integration, and end-to-end automation testing. Write clean, high-quality code (e.g., in Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript/TypeScript) to automate complex financial user journeys.
  • Pipeline Integration (CI/CD): Embed continuous testing into our DevOps pipelines. Ensure that every code commit is rigorously and automatically tested for functionality and stability before reaching production.
  • Performance & Security Testing: Design and execute automated performance, load, and security tests to proactively identify bottlenecks and vulnerabilities, ensuring our systems can handle massive transaction volumes securely.
  • Shift-Left Quality & Collaboration: Partner closely with software engineers, product managers, and QA analysts during the design phase. Define testability requirements and ensure quality is built-in from day one rather than tested-in later.
  • Defect Triage & Root Cause Analysis: Investigate complex issues, debug code, and work alongside developers to trace defects down to the root cause, implementing preventative automation to stop regressions.
  • Mentorship & Best Practices: Continuously evaluate modern testing tools and methodologies (e.g., Appium, Playwright, JMeter, Axios/RestAssured, MySql). Mentor junior team members and cultivate a culture where quality is a shared engineering responsibility.
