About the role

We are looking for an engineer who can own feature quality end-to-end - from understanding requirements and identifying risks early, to building scalable automated coverage and driving release confidence across distributed systems and integrations. This role is heavily focused on backend systems, APIs, pricing logic, and integration testing. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across complex systems, debugging issues across services and environments, and balancing hands-on exploratory testing with sustainable automation investments. The role requires close partnership with Engineering, Product, and cross-functional teams to drive a shift-left, automation-first quality strategy while maintaining a strong focus on product reliability and customer impact.

Requirements

Experience validating complex business logic in financial systems, pricing engines, transactional workflows, or billing platforms -- including edge case analysis and boundary condition testing

Experience with data validation and database testing, including writing SQL queries to verify data integrity, transformation accuracy, and system-of-record consistency

Familiarity with service-oriented and microservices architectures, including contract testing approaches (e.g., consumer-driven contract testing with Pact or equivalent)

Experience with cloud and infrastructure environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and containerized deployment contexts using Kubernetes or Docker

Proficiency with observability and debugging tooling including structured log analysis, distributed tracing (e.g., Jaeger, Zipkin), and metrics platforms (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog)

Experience applying AI-assisted testing tools for use cases such as automated test case generation, coverage gap analysis, or anomaly detection in test results

Familiarity with performance and load testing methodologies and tools (e.g., Locust, Gatling, k6) relevant to high-volume backend systems

Experience developing and maintaining test strategy documentation, including risk-based test plans, coverage matrices, and release readiness reports

Familiarity with regulatory or compliance-adjacent testing contexts, such as tax calculation accuracy, currency handling, or regional pricing rule validation

5+ years of professional experience in software quality engineering, QA automation, or a closely related software engineering discipline

Proficiency in Python or another modern, object-oriented programming language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, Go), with the ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality automation code

Demonstrated experience designing and building automation frameworks and test suites for backend systems and APIs

Experience testing REST APIs, service integrations, and distributed system behaviors -- including validation of data contracts, error handling, and failure modes

Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline integration for automated test execution (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalent)

Ability to debug and diagnose failures across layered systems, including application logic
