Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Senior Automation QA Engineer to own and scale Incard’s automated quality assurance strategy.

You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing robust, reliable, and scalable QA automation across backend, frontend, mobile, and integrations. This role is critical in ensuring Incard can ship fast without compromising correctness, especially in a regulated fintech environment.

This role is ideal for someone who sees QA as engineering, not validation and who enjoys building frameworks, tooling, and quality systems that teams trust.

Build and maintain automated test frameworks for:
- API and backend services
- Web applications

Ensure tests are reliable, fast, maintainable, and easy to extend

CI/CD & Release Quality

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
Enforce quality gates before releases

Reliability & Continuous Improvement

Nice to Have

Experience testing fintech, payments, or other regulated systems
Experience with mobile automation (iOS / Android)
Familiarity with performance or load testing
Experience testing event-driven or workflow-based systems

Mindset We Look For

Quality-as-a-product mindset — you build systems, not checklists
Obsession with correctness, reliability, and trust
Pragmatic engineer — strong opinions, loosely held
Low ego, highly collaborative, and proactive
Comfortable challenging assumptions when quality is at risk
Startup DNA — ownership, speed, and accountability

Benefits:
