This is a handson engineering role focused on building scalable automated testing capabilities strengthening release safety and enabling teams to deliver changes confidently in a regulated cloudnative environment.

This is not a manual QA or testexecution role. It is an engineering position with ownership over test architecture automation frameworks and quality enablement. You will work closely with software engineers to embed automated testing and release validation into everyday development workflows. This is not a hand-off or sign-off testing function and not a UI-only or Selenium-heavy automation position.

In this Role You will:

Design and evolve automated API and componentlevel test frameworks in TypeScript aligned with modern testing best practices.
Build tests that validate running services and real infrastructure behavior rather than heavily mocked code paths.
Establish and maintain integration and contract testing for servicetoservice and external interfaces.
Strengthen automated regression coverage to support reliable frequent releases.
Expand and curate a focused Playwright E2E suite that protects critical user and payment workflows.
Enable local and CIbased test execution using containerized or ephemeral infrastructure where appropriate.
Partner with engineers to integrate testing into normal development and deployment workflows.
Leverage observability and production telemetry signals to inform test coverage and failuredetection strategies.

WhatWereLooking For:

Strong TypeScript experience (core language for services tooling and tests)
Deep experience with Jest or equivalent modern test frameworks
Proven ability to design and maintain test frameworks and automation infrastructure
Experience testing RESTful APIs and eventdriven systems
Working knowledge of AWSbased architectures (e.g. Lambda API Gateway DynamoDB messaging)
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines

Nice to Have:

Contract testing (e.g. Pact or similar)
Playwright for endtoend and workflowlevel testing
Docker or containerbased testing strategies
Distributed systems or financial / paymentprocessing domains
Experience coaching or influencing teams on test strategy and quality ownership

What do you need to succeed

Automated tests provide meaningful signal and release confidence
Engineers rely on test feedback as part of normal development and deployment
Quality scales with system complexity without reliance on manual verification
Regressions are detected early and consistently

What you can expect from us:

Base salary range starting of $125000-$135000 based on experience
Opportunity for annual cash bonus
Health / Dental / Vision Benefits Day-One
