You will take ownership of quality assurance across mobile, web, and backend user journeys—transforming product requirements into clear, well-defined test scenarios, conducting thorough exploratory testing, validating data flows (APIs and events), and ensuring releases remain ready for deployment in a rapidly evolving fintech environment.

Responsibilities

• Execute API testing using tools such as Postman and Rest Assured.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and QA leads to comprehend requirements and formulate effective test strategies.
• Perform regression, smoke, sanity, and end-to-end testing within agile/scrum settings.
• Identify, document, and track defects, working alongside developers to facilitate swift resolution.
• Monitor test coverage and quality metrics, providing regular status updates to stakeholders.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation of test cases and results using tools like JIRA, TestRail, or Zephyr.

Required Qualifications:

• Proficient in manual testing across mobile, web, and API platforms with strong exploratory testing skills and adeptness at isolating defects.
• Experience with API testing using Postman/Newman; familiarity with JSON, HTTP protocols, authentication flows, headers/cookies, and schema comparisons.
• Mobile testing expertise including use of real devices and emulators, testing deep links, push notifications, permissions, app upgrades, and crash analysis (using Crashlytics/Instabug).
• Web testing skills encompassing cross-browser sanity checks (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit), responsive design validation, cookies/storage management, and feature flag testing.
• Working knowledge of data tools and databases: SQL for Postgres, basic DynamoDB queries, interpreting Kafka messages, and validating Redis keys and TTL.
• Experience with debugging tools such as Charles, Proxyman, Fiddler, browser developer tools, adb/xcode utilities, log analysis (CloudWatch/Kibana), and network throttling.
• Familiarity with process management tools (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr) and ability to create clear bug reports including steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, environment details, logs, and attachments; management of versioned test assets.
• Awareness of security and compliance standards, including PCI-DSS basics, handling PII data, data masking, and session/authentication testing.
• Comfortable leveraging Generative AI responsibly to accelerate test design and failure analysis, adhering to prompt hygiene and avoiding inclusion of sensitive data.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3 to 6 years of experience in software quality assurance, ideally within an Agile development environment.
• Experience with test automation using popular frameworks such as WebdriverIO, Playwright, Mocha, Appium, JUnit, or TestNG.
• Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., JavaScript, Java, Python).
