About the Role:

We're looking for a seasoned Test Automation Engineer with deep experience in banking and payments to drive quality engineering across high throughput payment flows (e.g.,
Wires/SWIFT, Fed Now, Chips, ISO 20022, ACH/NACHA, RTP
). You'll design robust automation frameworks, expand test coverage across APIs/services/UI, and embed quality into CI/CD for mission critical systems that demand security, resiliency, and regulatory compliance
.

What You'll Do

• Build & Evolve Automation Frameworks
  • Design and maintain scalable, modular UI/API/service-level/Database automation frameworks (preferably in Java/C#/Type Script/Python
    ) using tools like Selenium/Web Driver, Playwright, Cypress, Rest Assured, Postman
    .
  • Implement robust test data management
    , environment selectors, and parallel execution at scale; champion test stability (flaky test reduction).
• Quality in CI/CD
  • Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions/Azure Dev Ops/Jenkins/Git Lab CI) with gating policies, test dashboards, and quality thresholds (code coverage, pass rates, performance baselines).
  • Shift-left: PR-level unit/contract tests; shift-right:
    synthetic monitoring and observability validations post-deploy.
• Payments Domain Validation
  • Author automation for end-to-end payment journeys
    : initiation validation routing posting notifications reconciliation.
  • Validate file and real-time rails
    :
    Wires/SWIFT (MT/MX, ISO 20022),
    RTP
    , Fed Now
    , Chips.
  • Verify message schemas (e.g., ISO 20022 pain.
    001/pacs.
    008/camt), and SWIFT MX mapping; ensure idempotency, FX/fees/tax, cut-offs, holidays, and retries.
• Non-Functional & Resilience Testing
  • Build automation for performance, soak, and resilience (throughput/latency/error budgets, circuit breakers, back-pressure).
  • Execute chaos/failover/dr testing
    : timeouts, downstream unavailability, duplicate submissions, replay protection.

Required Qualifications

• 7 10+ years in test automation with 5+ years in banking/payments platforms.
• Strong in one or more
  :
  Java, C#, Python, or Type Script; hands on with Selenium/Playwright/Cypress and API testing (Rest Assured/Postman).
• Experience with message validation (JSON, XML, ISO 20022 schemas),
  file-based and real-time processing,
  asynchronous and event-driven systems (Kafka/Rabbit
  
  MQ).
• Solid grasp of CI/CD (Azure Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, Jenkins),
  Git
  , Docker/K8s
  , environment variables/secrets, and test parallelization.
• Proven capability with SQL and at least one No
  
  SQL (e.g., Mongo); experience setting up synthetic test data and masking strategies.
• Familiarity with observability (Grafana, Splunk) to correlate test runs with system telemetry.
• Understanding of SWIFT/ISO 20022
  , Fed Now principles, fraud and risk controls, and secure coding/testing practices.

Nice-to-Have

• Contract testing with schema-first approaches (OpenAPI, Async
  
  API).
• Domain exposure to reconciliations, liquidity, sanctions screening (OFAC), AML
  , and fraud signals/decisioning.
