QA Engineer (Payments Management Platform)

Why this role matters

As a QA Engineer within our Scrum Team, you will closely collaborate with Developers, Business Analysts, and other team members to ensure the highest product quality throughout each sprint. Your key responsibilities will include maintaining and extending the automated test suite, stabilising the testing environment, and proactively identifying and managing quality risks. You will translate test results into clear, data-driven insights, helping the team make informed decisions and deliver reliable product increments.

The role is based in our Limassol office, Cyprus. In case of relocation, we offer full relocation support for you and your family to make your move smooth and worry-free.

What you'll actually do

• During refinement and sprint‑planning meetings, define scope, test approach, and acceptance criteria ahead of development, ensuring estimates include both manual and automated work.

• Prepare and configure test environments (data, mocks, feature flags) and then execute functional, regression, and exploratory tests; log actionable defects with clear steps to reproduce.

• Design, implement, and maintain UI, API, e2e, and integration tests in the shared Python + Playwright framework, adhering to test‑design techniques (equivalence classes, boundary values).

• Maintaining effective test suites.

• Act as an active contributor to the automation framework: add new modules (reporting plug‑ins, service mocks), refactor legacy code for scalability, review flaky tests and drive improvements in stability and coverage, ensuring the framework remains reliable, efficient, and valuable for the whole team.

• Integrate automated checks into GitLab CI; monitor pipelines, analyse failures quickly, and collaborate with DevOps to keep feedback loops short.

• Participate in production deployments, run post-deploy checks, verify key user journeys with real data, and provide go/no-go feedback.

• Report daily on manual and automated results, highlighting blockers, risks, and preventive actions.

• Collaborate closely with developers, DevOps, designers, and product owners to align on quality goals.

• Present test findings during grooming and demo sessions.

• Mentor teammates in quality engineering and uphold quality standards across the SDLC.

• Support cross-team testing and lead integration testing when required.

Who we’re looking for

• 5+ years of proven experience as a Quality Assurance Engineer in backend and frontend applications testing.

• Strong knowledge of the testing process, methodologies, approaches, and test design techniques.

• Strong knowledge of SQL.

• Understanding of REST API and web services technologies.

• Experience with API testing (Postman, Charles, etc.).

• Experience in automation with Python (Pytest, Playwright).

• Practical experience in performance testing (e.g., using Locust) will be a plus.

• Experience with Allure and CI systems such as GitLab.

• Experience with Docker (Kubernetes), k9s/argo.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to make pragmatic technical decisions.

• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, especially in cross-functional setups.

• Ability to prioritize in a fast-paced, outcome-driven environment.

• English proficiency: B2 level or higher.

What we offer along the way

• Competitive salary and annual performance bonus

• Full relocation support for you and your family — flights, housing, visas, and legal assistance included

• Top-tier health insurance with full family coverage — medical, dental, vision, mental health — plus life insurance for peace of mind

• Unlimited learning opportunities: external courses, English lessons, career and leadership development

• Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees

• 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave

• Employee appreciation program: branded gifts, birthday day-offs, celebration budgets for weddings, newborns, and milestones

• “Get to know Team” trips — meet colleagues across our global hubs, along with company-wide offsites that raise the bar

• Employee share scheme — grow with us

• Branded MINI Cooper Countryman company car and private parking

• Free in-house sports clubs, Sanctum Club gym access, and jet ski

• Access to a Corporate doctor

• Exclusive discount program with cafes, gyms, and local services

• Expat tax perks: up to 50% income tax exemption

• Support with the naturalisation process for relocated employees
