QA Automation Engineer

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on QA Automation Engineer to build reliable, scalable test automation across mobile, web, and backend services. You'll own test strategy, frameworks, and CI gating for a fast-moving fintech stack—and you'll use GenAI productively (not buzzwords) to speed up test creation, failure triage, and coverage analysis.

What you'll do

• Design and maintain automation for mobile (Flutter & React Native), web, and APIs; define test strategy for regression, smoke, and end-to-end flows.
• Build & scale frameworks (component ? integration ? E2E) with a shift-left mindset; wire into Bitbucket Pipelines (or Jenkins / GitHub Actions) with quality gates.
• Create resilient API and message-driven tests for Go microservices and Kafka workflows (producers / consumers, retries, idempotency, DLQs).
• Stand up mobile UI automation on real / sim devices (BrowserStack / Firebase Test Lab / local device farm).
• Implement contract testing (e.g., Pact) between services; use Testcontainers / LocalStack for deterministic integration tests (Kafka, Postgres, Redis, S3, etc.).
• Add performance & reliability tests (k6 / Locust), basic security checks (OWASP, auth / roles), and data validations against DynamoDB / Postgres.
• Use GenAI to generate test cases & code stubs, synthesize test data, summarize flaky failures, and map requirements ? coverage (prompting best practices & PII-safe usage).
• Instrument and debug with logs / metrics / traces (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana); drive flake rate down and MTTR up.
• Champion QA best practices across PR reviews, CI, and release workflows; mentor devs on writing testable code.
