What you'll bring:
- 6+ years' experience in Quality Assurance (may include 1–2 years in development).
- 2–3+ years' experience in automation testing (JavaScript preferred).
- Experience within the Finance or Payments domain.
- Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum frameworks and delivery practices.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Strong attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving approach.
- Ability to balance hands-on testing with leadership and process improvement.
