• Design, write, review, and maintain robust automated test cases for new features and enhancements based on User Story Acceptance Criteria.
• Provide leadership within an Agile/Scrum environment, actively contributing to sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, and release readiness.
• Own and drive test planning, aligning with BAs and Software Development Engineers.
• Review requirements, specifications, and technical design documents to provide early, actionable quality feedback and ensure testability.
• Architect, enhance, and maintain test automation frameworks, with a strong focus on:
  • Batch processing systems
  • API-based services across the platform
• Lead and contribute to the BDD framework, enabling teams to:
• Oversee and support system, regression, and end-to-end testing to validate critical business workflows.
• Log, track, and manage defects; take full ownership and accountability to drive resolution and ensure re-testing closure.
• Drive continuous improvement of testing standards, automation practices, and QA processes across the platform.
• Mentor and guide QA engineers, promoting technical excellence and quality ownership.

What you need to have

• 3+ years of experience in software testing across all phases of the test lifecycle, with strong hands-on automation experience.
• Strong automation and scripting skills, with hands-on experience in Python (PyTest).
• Proven ability to design and build bespoke test automation frameworks and tools.
• Experience generating automated test cases from User Story Acceptance Criteria and integrating them into a BDD automation framework.
• Good knowledge of databases with strong working experience in SQL.
• Solid understanding of system testing, regression testing, and end‑to‑end validation.
• Hands-on experience working in Agile/Scrum environments and JIRA
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, LLM‑based features, or automation tools.

What would be great to have

• Familiarity with CI/CD and SDLC tools such as Jenkins, Rundeck, GitLab, or similar.  
• Exposure to cloud-based environments and containerization technologies such as Docker.
• Prior work in payments, banking or regulated fintech with emphasis on auditability, privacy and security.
• Mentoring experience and a pragmatic, customer-focused mindset that balances innovation with operational rigor.
• Ensure ethical AI usage, data governance compliance, and secure handling of model outputs.
• Stay updated with emerging AI technologies and recommend adoption strategies.
• Experience with AI APIs (OpenAI, Azure AI, AWS Bedrock) is a plus.
• Govern responsible AI usage, performance tuning, security, and observability for AI workloads.
