We are looking for an experienced Fullstack QA Engineer with a background in fintech, banking or other finance-related products to join our banking QA team. We build mobile banking apps on shared backend APIs. You will test both mobile apps and backend services by hand and help us build test automation for APIs and mobile apps. Our products move real money - cards, transfers, payments - so quality here matters.
What You Will Do
- Test new features and run regression for iOS and Android apps;
- Test backend APIs and integrations: requests, responses, logs;
- Design and maintain test cases and checklists in TestRail;
- Build, maintain and run automated API tests with Postman and Newman in GitLab CI;
- Maintain and extend our existing Java / REST Assured API test framework (TestRail integration, Allure reporting), and bring it back to regular runs;
- Contribute to mobile UI test automation for iOS and Android — together with developers in their native test suites or with cross-platform tools — with a focus on end-to-end checks against the real backend;
- Prepare test data and test accounts for automated and manual runs;
- Help evolve our test automation approach and tooling;
- Clarify requirements directly with developers and product managers — we have no business analysts, so you will often find out how things should work yourself;
- Take part in release checks (release candidate testing, post-release smoke) and help improve QA processes;
- Use AI tools to speed up your work — and verify what they produce.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience as a QA Engineer;
- Experience in fintech, banking, payments or other finance-related products;
- Solid test design skills: you write test cases and checklists from short task descriptions;
- Hands-on experience testing mobile apps on both iOS and Android (TestFlight / Firebase builds);
- Strong API testing skills: HTTP, REST, status codes, authorization;
- Hands-on API test automation: comfortable reading and extending automated API tests in code (Java or Kotlin preferred) and writing simple tests by analogy - not framework architecture from scratch - plus Postman/Newman (scripts, environments, collections); experience running it in CI;
- Proxy tools - Charles or Proxyman: inspecting traffic, breakpoints, mocking responses;
- Working with logs to localise bugs;
- Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude: you ask questions, dig into unclear tasks and own the result;
- Readiness to test manually - this is not a pure automation role;
- Russian - native․
Nice to have
- Building test automation in code from scratch: framework, CI pipeline, reporting;
- GitLab CI: pipelines, schedules, artifacts;
- Basic SQL;
- Mobile UI test automation: Appium, Espresso/Kaspresso or XCUITest;
- Experience with feature flags and testing releases with partial rollout.
