• Experience testing fraud, transaction defense, dispute, and chargeback solutions, including fraud monitoring and case management, rule validation, transaction reviews, chargeback processing, representments, merchant interactions, and network-compliance validation.
• Strong proficiency in backend data validation and integration testing, including SQL-based verification, API testing with Postman, and validating data synchronization across customer-service applications, payment platforms, fraud systems, and downstream services.
• Experience with data migration, conversion, and cloud-migration testing, including source-to-target validation, data reconciliation, customer/account/card/transaction data verification, and end-to-end business-process validation; familiarity with AWS environments supporting on-premises-to-cloud migration initiatives.
• Strong understanding of ISO 8583 message formats and payment interchange protocols, including validation of MTIs, bitmaps, and data elements in financial transaction card-originated messages.
• Experience with packet and protocol testing, including deep packet testing using Soap Sonar/WSDL Weaver to ensure data integrity during transmission and verify serialization and deserialization of packed and unpacked data fields across secure network channels.
• Experience with data synchronization, source-to-target validation, and data lake/data-processing validation.
• Strong hands-on experience in REST/SOAP API testing using Postman, SoapUI, Thunder Client, or similar tools.
• Experience in web UI testing, including functional validation and integration testing.
• Ability to understand automation scripts, analyze execution results, and troubleshoot failures.
• Strong experience in defect identification, triage, lifecycle management, and retesting.
• Experience with Jira or similar defect and test management tools.
• Good understanding of Agile methodologies, SDLC, and STLC.

• Ability to work independently on complex testing scenarios while supporting offshore team coordination.

Responsibilities

• Support test-data preparation, test-environment validation, and troubleshooting of testing dependencies.
• Coordinate day-to-day testing activities across offshore team members and help ensure progress and timely delivery of assigned work.
