## About the Role

You will own the sensor strategy that catches what AI gets wrong, verify that test intent matches business requirements, and raise the quality bar for the entire team.
Design and implement layered quality sensors across our CI/CD pipeline - from static analysis to AI?driven code review passes Improve and maintain E2E test suites for critical payment flows (card authorisation, clearing and settlement, tokenisation, 3D Secure) Review PRs for test intent alignment - ensuring AI?authored and human?authored code meets the same quality bar Identify test coverage gaps and prioritise them by risk (customer impact, regulatory exposure) Build load testing and performance validation frameworks Collaborate with the team on quality strategy - you raise the bar, you don't gatekeep it 5+ years in software engineering with a strong focus on quality and testing (equivalence partitioning, boundary analysis, risk?based prioritization) ~ Proficiency in Go (or strong willingness to learn - test?design thinking matters more than language syntax) ~ Experience testing RESTful APIs and event?driven systems ~ Comfort with regulated environments - you think in terms of
audit trails, blast radius, and data classification ~ Strong proficiency in English - written and verbal ~ Experience using observability platforms (Datadog, New Relic, Elasticsearch, Grafana) to investigate issues and validate system behaviour Understanding of failure modes in distributed systems (event ordering, retries, idempotency, eventual consistency)
