This role combines outside-in black-box testing, API and integration validation,automation framework development,and close partnership with engineering teams to prevent defects before they reach production.
Responsibilities:

• Design and execute outside-in black-box test strategies thatvalidateend-to-end customer, partner, and business payment flows without relying on implementation details.

• Build andmaintainreliable automation suites across API, integration, UI, and end-to-end flows, with clear coverage, low flakiness, and actionable failure signals for engineering teams.

• Conduct performance, load, and reliability testing using tools such as k6, JMeter, or LoadRunner toidentifybottlenecks,validatesystem behavior under scale, and provide actionable findings to engineering teams.

• Partner with developers, product managers, and platformteams to move testing earlier in the delivery lifecycle by integrating automated quality gates, test data,observability signals,and validationchecksinto CI/CD pipelines.

• Use AI-assisted engineering tools to improve test design, test data generation, failure analysis, and automation productivity whilemaintainingstrong engineering judgment and quality standards.

• Stay current with quality engineering practices, tools, and automation patterns, and apply them to improve test coverage, reliability, and engineering productivity.
