Qualifications

10+ years in QA or SDET roles with ownership of automated suites running against production systems.
Automation in a modern stack with CI/CD; operating in a fast-moving startup environment.
Experience testing APIs and distributed systems, not only UIs.
Mobile testing on iOS and Android.
Background in fintech/payments/high-reliability environments.
Judgment on what to automate for confidence per maintenance effort.

Responsibilities

Own unit, integration, and end-to-end test suites; raise signal, reduce flakes, and build trustable pipelines.
Define testing criteria as we move to a structured Agile process with clear release gates.
Collaborate with product and engineering from specs to ensure coverage at delivery.
Own end-to-end quality of customer experience (signup, deposit, trade, withdrawal) across browsers/devices.
State, with evidence, whether a release is safe to ship.
Turn production incidents into permanent regression tests to prevent recurrence.
