Job Description:

Our client, a global FinTech business, is hiring a Senior QA Engineer who owns quality end-to-end and shapes how the team tests, from test design and automation infrastructure through to release gating and production observability. You already use AI as part of how you think, build, test, and ship.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and own integration test harnesses and contract tests for the flows that move money, across a range of domains and the partner APIs behind them.
  • Lead the design of the test automation that gates code into production, across onboarding, KYC and KYB, payment initiation, FX, settlement, and other supporting flows.
  • Set the balance of manual and automated testing for your domain: write test cases, run manual tests where they are the right tool, and lead automation in Playwright and equivalent frameworks.
  • Own CI/CD quality strategy for your domain (release-blocking signals, flaky-test triage, test infrastructure health), lead production incident investigation, and translate findings into automated tests and process improvements.

Requirements

  • 6 to 10+ years building production test automation, end-to-end.
  • SQL and relational database fundamentals (for test data, validation, and debugging).
  • API testing (Postman, Bruno, or equivalent) and UI automation (Playwright, Cypress, or equivalent).
  • Functional and non-functional testing principles (reliability and security) and disciplined defect management, with hands-on performance, load, or resilience testing (k6, JMeter, or equivalent).

This is a permanent, full-time role offering hybrid working (2/3 days per week in the Bracknell office), a competitive salary, excellent benefits, and great opportunities for career progression
