🚀 QA / Quality Engineering Lead

📍 Limassol, Cyprus | Relocation
💼 Fintech / Payments

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.

🔹 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 for test generation, impact analysis and failure triage
🔹 Implement quality gates and automated quality signals in CI/CD
🔹 Define risk-based quality strategy for APIs, payment flows and PSP integrations
🔹 Lead and develop the QA/QE team
🔹 Work closely with Engineering, Product, Platform, Security, Risk & Compliance

What we’re looking for:

✅ 7+ years in QA / Quality Engineering + leadership experience
✅ Strong hands-on software engineering skills, ideally Go
✅ Experience building automation frameworks / test infrastructure
✅ 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 & tracing
✅ CI/CD and Git workflows
✅ Experience with AI engineering tools
✅ Strong communication and stakeholder management

⭐ Nice to have: Kubernetes, cloud, event-driven architecture, observability, PCI DSS, PSD2/SCA, performance & resilience testing.

🌟 What we offer:

✈️ Relocation support: flight tickets + accommodation for the first 2 weeks
🛂 Visa support
🏢 Modern office in Limassol
📈 Professional growth & leadership opportunities
💻 Modern FinTech & payment products
🤝 Supportive and collaborative team
