• Design and implement comprehensive automated validation strategies across APIs, services, and complex end-to-end workflows.
• Develop and maintain scalable, reliable test automation frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
• Own validation for complex features, including edge cases, failure scenarios, performance, and system resilience under load.
• Lead debugging and root cause analysis for complex system defects using logs, metrics, and distributed traces.
• Improve system observability and testability by collaborating with engineers on design and architecture decisions.
• Define validation approaches that balance test coverage, execution efficiency, and maintainability.
• Ensure systems meet standards for reliability, performance, correctness, and user experience before production release.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to align validation strategy with customer workflows and requirements.
• Mentor engineers on testing methodologies, automation practices, and debugging techniques.
• Continuously improve testing frameworks, engineering practices, and system quality across the team.

Requirements:

• 5–8+ years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, or SDET roles within complex systems.
• Strong experience designing and maintaining automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, API, and end-to-end testing).
• Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automated validation workflows.
• Strong backend and systems knowledge, including REST APIs, distributed systems, and service-oriented architectures.
• Experience validating systems under performance, load, and failure scenarios.
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills using logs, metrics, and traces.
• Experience improving system observability and testability in production-grade environments.
• Working knowledge of SQL and relational databases for data validation and analysis.
• Proven ability to define quality strategies, identify risks, and influence engineering decisions.
• Experience mentoring engineers and improving team-wide testing practices.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering tools for testing, debugging, or productivity improvements.
• Experience with tools such as Playwright, JavaScript, Snowflake, or similar modern testing/data stacks.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering and product teams.
• Preferred: experience in fintech, payments, or regulated financial systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience preferred.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package with bonus eligibility.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
