QA / Quality Engineering Lead
Summary
Leads the QA/QE team for a modern payments platform, building automation frameworks in Go, test infrastructure, and AI-powered testing tools while defining quality strategies for payment flows and integrations.
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
