About The Position

As a Senior QA Engineer, you will be responsible for quality in a new product squad working in US hours on a crypto payment platform. The role is automation-first: you write and maintain automated tests on top of a shared test framework, move routine regression into CI, and complement automation with hands-on exploratory and acceptance testing for client-facing releases. Success means the squad ships client-facing functionality confidently.

Requirements

• 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
• Proficient use of 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 while they are still cheap to fix and drive them to a decision
• Strong written and verbal communication in English

Nice To Haves

• Fintech, payments, or crypto domain experience
• Experience with Jira and TestRail (or similar products)
• Experience configuring CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI)
• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and shift-left practices
• Performance testing experience

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

Benefits

• Company issued laptop
• Technology Accessories
• Annual In-Person Full-Team Meetup
