Description

Description We are looking for a QA Engineer who is deeply technical, passionate, and meticulous to help drive a quality-centric approach to application development. This key role is responsible for creating and executing automated tests to ensure product quality for our payment capture systems, tokenization engines, front-end UI, and payment modals. The ideal candidate will thrive in a large, complex architecture, managing the quality of our microservices/APIs and integrations with other Stax products. You will enhance our team’s ability to implement proper QA tooling and automation while serving as a bridge between product stakeholders, engineering teams, and offshore testing resources. Key Responsibilities & Objectives Offshore Collaboration: Work closely with offshore testing teams to ensure consistent quality standards and delivery across time zones. Automation Leadership: Create and maintain robust automation scripts during the sprint using Cypress and Playwright. AI Usage & Innovation: Drive innovation by integrating AI tools—including Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code to accelerate test generation, optimize code reviews, and enhance quality engineering efficiency. Architectural Integration: Integrate with development teams to ensure testability, scalability, and performance are at the forefront of our complex payment architecture. Observability: Utilize Datadog to monitor system health, create quality metrics, and troubleshoot escalated support items. Agile Execution: Work as part of a Scrum team to automate and validate all stories specifically focusing on payment modals and UI prior to deployment. Defect Guarding: Report and guard against all product defects while engaging with stakeholders to ensure high-quality tokenization and capture workflows. Research: Continuously evolve quality practices by researching new testing tools and methodologies. Requirements Education & Experience: BS in Computer Science or a related field with 7+ years of Quality Engineering experience in high-growth SaaS environments. Automation Mastery: Expert in Playwright and Cypress, with specific expertise in testing complex front-end components like payment modals and iframe integrations. Technical Stack: Strong hands-on experience with AWS (Lambdas, SQS, microservices) and Datadog for observability and system health monitoring. Coding & APIs: Proficient in TypeScript, Node.js, or C# for scalable frameworks; 5+ years of experience in REST API testing (Postman) and complex SQL data validation. AI & Innovation: Proven ability to leverage AI tools (Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate development cycles and optimize test maintenance. Leadership: Experienced in managing and mentoring offshore teams and navigating complex, distributed architectures and tokenization engines. Domain Expertise: Specialized in the Payments Industry, including PCI Compliance, payment capture workflows, and sensitive data handling. Process & Tools: Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Agile (Scrum/Kanban), and advanced Jira defect management. Soft Skills: Analytical "break-fix" mindset with the ability to translate technical quality risks to non-technical stakeholders in fast-paced environments.
