• Support Continuous Integration pipelines and contribute to robust, scalable test automation.

? Tech & Experience You Bring

• 7–8 years of test engineering experience, ideally in Agile/Scrum teams.

• Excellent communicator and fast learner with a passion for high-quality software.

? Why You’ll Love This Role

• Automation-first culture – manual testing only when it adds value.
• Minimal bureaucracy – focus on impact, not process.
• Your test, your tools – contribute to frameworks, build new strategies, and elevate engineering quality.
• Real problems, real impact – test systems that move real money and serve real merchants.
