Trintech is an award-winning AI-driven Fintech SaaS organisation transforming the way finance teams operate.

Our Software Test Automation Lead serves as a hands-on individual contributor responsible for defining test automation standards and advancing quality assurance practices across Trintech’s AI Platform.

This role owns test automation for core platform services, including multi-tenant architecture, IAM and OAuth workflows, event-driven services, API gateway functionality, billing and metering capabilities, audit trails, and the agent marketplace.

Working closely with Platform Engineering, QA engineers, Architecture, and Agent Stream teams, the Software Test Automation Lead designs scalable test strategies, builds and maintains automated test suites, integrates quality gates into CI/CD pipelines, and ensures platform capabilities are secure, reliable, testable, and production-ready.

This role also provides practice leadership across agent development squads by establishing QA standards, improving LLM and agent testing approaches, mentoring through technical example, and driving consistent test framework design, automation quality, and continuous improvement without direct people management.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:

• Platform Team Quality Assurance
• QA Practice Leadership Across Agent Stream
• Quality Standards & Engineering Craft

• Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, including test reporting, pipeline definition, and automated quality gate enforcement using Azure DevOps or similar tools.
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases for test data management, teardown, and database state validation.
• Experience testing multi-tenant SaaS systems, including tenant isolation, cross-tenant security boundaries, and scoped data access.
• Experience testing event-driven systems, including message ordering, delivery guarantees, idempotency, and event schema validation.
• Experience with API gateway testing, OpenAPI schema validation, versioning, rate limiting, and inter-service contract testing.
• Experience testing IAM and authentication workflows, including OAuth 2.0, token lifecycle validation, and identity propagation across services.
• Experience validating audit trails, immutable logs, correlation ID chains, and event emissions for compliance-grade platform services.
• Experience defining QA standards, test framework conventions, coverage expectations, or quality gate patterns across multiple teams or squads.
• Demonstrated ability to raise QA capability through mentoring, framework contributions, standards documentation, or introduction of improved testing practices.
• Understanding of LLM and agent testing concepts, including non-deterministic outputs, multi-step agent workflows, confidence-based validation, and evolving AI testing practices.
• Familiarity with Langfuse or equivalent LLM observability tools and their use in agent validation.
• Strong communication, collaboration, technical leadership, problem-solving, and continuous improvement skills.
• Hands-on experience with Langfuse, including trace validation, evaluation pipeline setup, or confidence score assertion preferred.
• Experience with LLM evaluation frameworks, such as Ragas or equivalent tools for RAG output quality testing preferred.
• Experience with performance or load testing for API or LLM inference endpoints preferred.
