## About the Role

* 5+ years as a software engineer with substantial test-infrastructure ownership (SDET, platform engineering, or backend engineering with heavy testing responsibility)
 * Strong TypeScript: our backend services and test automation are TypeScript
 * Experience building test frameworks and harnesses from scratch, not only writing tests on top of existing ones
 * Hands-on experience with a modern automation framework, i.e. Playwright
 * Experience designing test stages in CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI), including parallelization and selective test execution
 * API testing and mocking/stubbing of third-party services
 * Proficient daily use of AI coding tools, with the ability to review AI-generated code quickly and critically
 * Prior crypto experience is optional; building a working understanding of crypto and stablecoin payment flows (custody, settlement, screening) on the job is a mandatory part of the role
 * High agency: this is a horizontal role without daily supervision; you find testing friction yourself, decide what to build, and defend its priority
 * Strong written and verbal communication in English

 * Test management tooling such as TestRail

 * Implement contract tests that run on schedule against real vendor sandboxes and catch unannounced API changes before they reach production
 * Build test data and environment tooling: one-command environments with meaningful state
 * Own the CI test pipeline: fast feedback on every pull request, heavier integration suites nightly and pre-release, parallelization
 * Eliminate flaky tests: quarantine, statistics, root-cause analysis, so the team trusts a red build
 * Create test-writing scaffolding (helper libraries, fixtures, object builders) and well-documented test patterns that also serve as templates for AI-assisted test generation
 * Coach engineers on writing effective tests through reviews and pairing, so that each team owns the quality of its own code
 * Build production-adjacent checks: post-deploy smoke tests, synthetic transactions, automated verification before traffic is switched to a service, Reports to: Engineering Manager. You will align testing strategy with our QA Lead.
Why This Role

 * Build the test infrastructure of a crypto payment platform from scratch, with a greenfield platform as your first adopter
 * Your framework multiplies the output of every engineer in the organization
 * AI-first engineering culture: your test patterns directly power AI-assisted development, Remote. EU, USA, Argentina, Brazil. A minimum of 4 hours of daily overlap with Central European working hours is required.
