Senior QA Engineer (Web)

• Embed quality “shift-left” practices into the delivery team: clarifying acceptance criteria, defining test strategy, and influencing design for testability and observability
• Own end-to-end testing for complex web application flows across UI, API, and integrated back-end services, including happy paths, edge cases, and high-risk failure scenarios
• Design, maintain, and continuously improve automated E2E and API tests written in TypeScript (Playwright), enforcing high code quality standards and consistent review practices
• Maintain and improve CI/CD execution of automated suites (gating, reporting, flaky test management, parallelization, and environment stability)
• Execute strong API testing practices (including contract validation where applicable), covering authentication/authorization, limits, validation rules, and error handling
• Validate critical fintech workflows such as onboarding, payments, FX conversions, reconciliations, permissions, and approval flows across different user roles
• Test non-functional requirements relevant to regulated web platforms: resilience, performance, monitoring/alerting behavior, auditability, and production readiness
• Perform and support security-focused testing activities, including validation of access controls, session management, input validation, and common web vulnerabilities (OWASP awareness)
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Compliance/Risk, and Operations to ensure controlled releases, traceable evidence, and clear go/no-go criteria
• Apply AI-assisted testing pragmatically (e.g., generating test ideas and cases, log triage, exploratory support, improving test maintainability), while managing risks such as hallucinations, data leakage, and over-reliance
• Drive continuous improvement via root cause analysis, defect trend insights, and prevention-focused actions (not just detection)

• 3–5 years of experience in QA/test automation, with strong ownership of quality outcomes in modern product teams (Senior level expectation)
• Strong hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript), leveraging it effectively for both E2E and API testing
• Proven experience building and maintaining robust automation frameworks with stable CI/CD integration (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)
• Experience working in fintech or regulated financial services environments, understanding compliance, auditability, and release control expectations
• Hands-on experience maintaining and running automated E2E tests written in TypeScript (e.g., Playwright), including code quality enforcement via linters (e.g., ESLint/Prettier) and stable CI execution
• Working ability to read, debug, and contribute to test tooling and/or services written in Python and/or Go (e.g., integration harnesses, data builders, diagnostic tooling)
• Strong API testing capability (REST/JSON
• event-driven where relevant), including negative testing and schema/contract validation
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent), including reporting, gating, and triage of flaky tests
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS or equivalent) and the practicalities of test environments
• Practical use of AI in testing: ability to use AI tools to improve coverage and speed (test design, exploratory support, log/trace triage)
• Strong analytical thinking, clear written communication, and ability to work cross-functionally
• Experience with security testing of web applications, including understanding of common web vulnerabilities and best practices
• Experience in regulated fintech/financial services is required
• Please note, candidates will need to have the right to work in the jurisdiction that they are looking to work in

Experience with mobile automation testing frameworks is a strong bonus
