QA / Quality Engineering Lead

We’re looking for a hands-on QA / Quality Engineering Lead to build and lead the quality engineering function for a modern payments platform.

This is not a traditional QA management role. We need a builder— someone who creates automation frameworks, test infrastructure and internal engineering tools that developers actually want to use.

What you’ll do:

• Build automation frameworks and test harnesses, primarily in Go

• Develop test infrastructure for distributed payment systems

• Build mocks, service virtualisation and test data management tools

• Introduce AI-powered tools and agents for test generation, impact analysis, failure triage and root-cause investigation

• Implement quality gates and automated quality signals in CI/CD

• Define a risk-based quality strategy for APIs, payment flows, PSP integrations and customer journeys

• Lead and develop the QA/QE team

• Work closely with Engineering, Product, Platform, Security, Risk and Compliance

What we’re looking for:

• Strong hands-on software engineering skills, ideally Go

• Experience building automation frameworks, test infrastructure or internal developer tools

• 7+ years in QA / Quality Engineering with leadership experience

• Strong payments domain knowledge: PSPs, acquiring, 3DS/SCA, callbacks, retries, refunds, reversals, settlement & reconciliation

• Strong API, integration and contract testing experience

• Experience with distributed and asynchronous systems

• SQL, logs, metrics and tracing for troubleshooting

• CI/CD and Git-based development workflows

• Experience using AI engineering tools with a disciplined approach to validation

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have: Kubernetes, cloud, event-driven architecture, observability, PCI DSS, PSD2/SCA, performance and resilience testing.

What We Offer:

• Work on modern FinTech and payment products

• Supportive and collaborative team

• Modern office in Limassol, Cyprus

• Professional growth and leadership opportunities

• Competitive compensation package — up to €7,000 net

• Relocation support: flight tickets + accommodation for the first 2 weeks

• Visa support
