Job summary

Cyclops is seeking a Senior QA Engineer to join a crypto payment platform, working US hours. This automation-first role writes and maintains tests in TypeScript on a shared framework, moves routine regressions into CI, and combines automation with manual exploratory and acceptance testing for client releases.

You will own test strategy, review requirements with product/engineering, and coordinate with stakeholders across time zones while ensuring quality for client-facing features.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a QA Engineer on web applications.
• Strong experience writing and maintaining automated test scripts for UI, API, or backend tests.
• Good programming skills in TypeScript.
• Proficiency in a modern automation framework, i.e. Playwright.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on manual testing skills: exploratory, regression, smoke, and acceptance testing.
• Hands-on experience with API testing tools such as Insomnia or Postman.
• Proficiency in writing SQL queries for testing and data verification.
• Understanding of the test pyramid and automation strategy.
• Proficiency with AI tooling in test design and coding, with critical review of AI-generated output.
• Prior crypto experience is optional; building a working understanding of crypto and stablecoin payment flows on the job is a mandatory part of the role.
• High agency: you raise quality risks early and drive decisions.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English.

Responsibilities

• Own the test strategy and execution for the squad: acceptance, exploratory, and regression testing.
• Write and maintain automated UI and API tests on the shared test framework.
• Own and prioritize the automation backlog; move routine regression into CI so releases are not blocked on manual passes.
• Review product requirements and acceptance criteria with product and engineering, providing feedback before development starts.
• Verify client-facing releases and run acceptance testing before they reach clients.
• Communicate with stakeholders and third-party vendors about ongoing product issues.
• Maintain QA documentation and reports, including release testing and escaped defects reports.
