  • Own test data management, environment readiness, and automation reporting to ensure reliable and repeatable test execution.
  • Partner with Engineering, DevOps, Product, and Quality teams to embed quality and testability into solution delivery.
  • Mentor and develop automation engineers through technical leadership, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
  • Support intelligent automation, RPA testing, and continuous improvement initiatives that enhance delivery quality and efficiency.

What You will Bring:

  • Bacheor's Degree plus 8-10 years of software testing experience, including at least 3 years leading automation initiatives within banking or financial services environments.
  • Strong expertise in automation framework design using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, WebDriverIO, Appium, and Maestro.
  • Hands-on programming experience with Python/PyTest and working knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, or Java.
  • Proven experience in API automation, performance testing, and integration testing across complex enterprise applications.
  • Strong knowledge of CI/CD platforms such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitLab, including containerized and parallel test execution.
  • Experience with test data management, SQL validation, service virtualization, and automation reporting frameworks.
  • Solid understanding of retail and business banking systems, digital channels, and quality engineering best practices.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging capabilities with the ability to identify and resolve complex quality issues.
  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and leadership skills with a passion for mentoring and developing high-performing teams.

Preferred Skills:

  • Expertise in web, mobile, API, and performance test automation using Playwright, Selenium, WebDriverIO, Appium, Maestro, K6, and JMeter.
  • Strong programming capabilities in Python/PyTest with working knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java.
  • Hands-on experience in API and contract testing using Postman, Newman, REST Assured, and BDD frameworks such as Cucumber and Behave.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
