Job description

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) specializing in Quality Assurance (QA) with at least 5 years of professional experience, ideally within Fintech or e-commerce domains, to join our team. As an SDET QA, you will ensure the quality and reliability of our software products through a strong mix of manual and automated testing. You will collaborate closely with development, product, and business teams to implement effective testing strategies and processes, ensuring the delivery of high-quality software solutions to our customers.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute manual test plans and test cases based on functional and non-functional requirements, in addition to developing and maintaining automated test suites.
• Validate software functionality, performance, and scalability through a balanced combination of manual and automated testing approaches.
• Analyze test results to identify defects and regressions, and drive them to closure.
• Raise and track Jira tickets to closure. Promote builds to UAT, Staging and production.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including product, business, and other non-technical stakeholders—to understand project requirements, business context, and provide input on testability and quality.
• Bring domain understanding (Fintech/e-commerce) to testing strategy, anticipating edge cases and risks specific to these domains.
• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and other team activities to ensure the overall quality of our software solutions.
• Investigate and troubleshoot issues reported by customers or identified during testing, and work with the development team to implement solutions.
• Stay updated with industry trends and best practices in software testing and quality assurance, and advocate for their adoption within the organization.

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in software testing and quality assurance, with meaningful, hands‑on experience in both manual and automation testing—candidates who have worked purely in automation roles will not be a fit.
• Prior experience in Fintech or e-commerce domains is highly preferred.
• Strong proficiency in test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG).
• Experience with programming languages such as Java, Python, or similar.
• Experience in API test automation using Pytest, RestAssured, or similar tools.
• Solid understanding of software development methodologies (e.g., Agile, Scrum) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong domain understanding, with the ability to engage confidently with stakeholders beyond the tech team (product, business, operations).
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills, with keen attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross‑functional teams.
• Proven ability to prioritize tasks and manage time effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
