Location: Remote
Type: Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive and based on experience/location

About the Company

We are building next-generation financial infrastructure at the intersection of fintech, stablecoin-powered payments, and AI-driven software development. Our platform combines the reliability and security expectations of modern banking systems with the speed, flexibility, and intelligence of emerging technologies.

Our engineering culture is deeply technical, highly collaborative, and AI-native. We leverage modern development tooling, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate how we build, test, and ship products at scale.

This is an opportunity to join a senior engineering organization solving complex challenges across:

digital wallets and payment infrastructure
real-time financial systems
event-driven architectures
mobile applications
blockchain/stablecoin transaction flows
AI-powered product experiences

We are looking for someone who is excited not only about automation testing, but about redefining what quality engineering looks like in an AI-accelerated future.

The Role

We are seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to lead and scale automated quality assurance across our mobile applications, backend services, APIs, event-driven infrastructure, and real-time systems.

This is a highly technical role best suited for someone with strong automation architecture experience who can operate independently within a fast-paced engineering environment.

You will work closely with backend, frontend, DevOps, and product engineering teams to ensure the reliability, scalability, and correctness of critical financial systems.

The ideal candidate has experience testing complex distributed systems, modern TypeScript-based applications, and fintech/payment workflows while embracing AI-assisted engineering practices.

What You’ll Do

Automation & Test Infrastructure

Design, build, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks across mobile, backend, and API systems
Develop robust automated test suites using TypeScript, Jest, PactumJS, and related tooling
Build and maintain end-to-end mobile automation using Maestro (preferred) or Detox
Implement API, integration, regression, and contract testing across REST, GraphQL, SSE streaming, and WebSocket-based systems
Establish automated validation pipelines for critical transaction and payment workflows

Backend & Infrastructure Testing

Test serverless AWS architectures including Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB Streams, Kinesis, EventBridge, Cognito, and related services
Validate event-driven systems, asynchronous workflows, and distributed infrastructure behaviors
Build strategies for testing reliability, fault tolerance, retries, idempotency, and edge-case handling in financial systems
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve observability, testability, and release quality

Fintech & Real-Time Systems

Ensure accuracy and reliability of payment flows, wallet functionality, transaction histories, and ledger-related systems
Test real-time systems including streaming updates, messaging/chat systems, notifications, presence, and live state synchronization
Help establish quality standards appropriate for financial-grade infrastructure and high-trust applications

AI-Assisted Engineering

Utilize AI tools such as Claude, Cursor, MCP integrations, and AI-assisted IDE workflows to accelerate testing and debugging
Explore AI-generated test coverage, regression detection, and automation optimization opportunities
Contribute to an engineering culture where AI is embedded into day-to-day development and QA workflows

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with engineering and product teams to define quality standards and release criteria
Participate in architecture and planning discussions with a quality-first mindset
Help shape long-term QA automation strategy and engineering best practices
