• Perform manual component-level testing, integration testing, exploratory testing, and regression testing as needed to validate features and expose risks not yet covered by test automation
• Develop and maintain API test suites validating contract integrity, expected system behavior, and performance
• Collaborate with software engineers to guide best practices in unit and integration testing and define team working agreements to execute
• Coach and mentor software engineers to author tests and develop test code that aligns with established Quality Engineering strategy and best practices
• Execute end-to-end, cross-team testing initiatives as a subject matter expert (SME) or dedicated tester supporting complex large-scale initiative test efforts
• Implement and improve measurement of actionable quality metrics and outcomes related to coverage, product reliability, and organizational resilience
• Develop, maintain, and execute clear test plans, test cases, and test reports, providing transparency into coverage and risk across work streams
• Analyze defect trends, conduct root cause analysis, and proactively identify opportunities for improvement in both process and product
• Demonstrated experience developing, maintaining, and enhancing automated test frameworks for mobile platforms and applications
• Proven experience as a Quality Engineer or SDET embedded in agile software development teams, ideally within fintech or enterprise SaaS environments
• Strong experience defining and executing test strategies across multiple testing layers (including unit, component, integration, & end-to-end) and collaborating with developers on test ownership and implementation
• Proficiency with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Appium, Selenium, Playwright) and scripting automated tests at various levels of the stack
• Hands-on experience using Postman, Insomnia, or similar API testing tools for validation of service behavior, performance, and reliability
• Strong understanding of test engineering best practices, including exploratory testing, performance testing, functional testing, and risk-based prioritization
• Familiarity with test case management systems (e.g. Xray, TestRail, Zephyr) and issue tracking tools (e.g. Jira).
• Experience with version control and continuous integration tools (e.g., Git, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and pipelines
