Automation Test Analyst

Not Your Typical  Automation Test Analyst Role 

This isn’t your typical Automation Test Analyst role. We’re a fast-scaling fintech payments startup where you’ll build, innovate, and make an impact from day one. If you’re looking for cushy corporate comfort, this isn’t the place. But if you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, navigate chaos, and help shape the future of payments - read on.

As a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, we’re looking for an organised, detailed, self-starter to support our Engineering Team.This is your chance to shape our testing strategy, enhance automation, and ensure our platform is robust and reliable.

You won’t have layers of approval slowing you down. You will have the freedom to make real, impactful decisions from day one. This isn’t a passenger role. We’re bringing you in for your expertise and your relentless drive to improve quality at speed.

Who We Are 

We are transforming payments for global platforms and e-commerce businesses. As the world’s first payments curation platform, we simplify cross-border transactions by uniting best-in-class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders. Cross-border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. We can’t be. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we’ll deliver, failure isn’t an option. If we don’t do what we said we would, people don’t get paid - not just a transaction delayed, but real workers left without wages. That means a developer in Argentina missing their paycheck, a freelancer in the Philippines unable to pay rent, or a contractor in Poland unable to get to work. No excuses. No passengers. No tolerance for politics or mediocrity.

Requirements

What This Role Demands:

⚡ You Own It – You take full responsibility for testing processes, from designing automation frameworks to executing critical manual tests for complex scenarios. If something is broken, you don't just report it—you drive the fix.
⚡ You Ask the Hard Questions – You challenge assumptions, think beyond test scripts, and push for a more resilient platform. How can we optimize automation? What are the key failure points?
⚡ You Fix What’s Broken – You don’t just log bugs—you dive into root causes, ensuring long-term stability through automated and manual testing strategies.
⚡ You’re Hands-On – One moment, you're writing automated scripts, the next you're performing exploratory testing for an edge case no one considered.
⚡ You Thrive in Chaos – Startups are dynamic, and requirements shift fast. You adapt, reprioritize, and keep the testing process efficient.
⚡ You Handle the Pressure – High stakes, fast releases. You juggle multiple test cycles, tight timelines, and shifting priorities without sacrificing quality.
⚡ You’re Here for the Journey – This is a career-defining opportunity. If you're ready to build something meaningful, let’s make it happen together.

• Designing, developing, and maintaining automated test frameworks and scripts using Playwright and TypeScript.

• Writing and executing API tests using tools like Postman.
• Identifying, tracking, and validating bugs, working closely with developers for quick resolution.
• Advocating for quality best practices and contributing to process improvements.
• Documenting manual test cases, automated scripts, and testing methodologies for long-term scalability.

What We’re Looking For:

⚡ Testing Expert – Strong experience in exploratory, functional, and regression testing for web applications.
⚡ Automation Pro – Hands-on experience with frameworks like Playwright, or equivalent.
⚡ Coding Skills – Proficiency in TypeScript or Javascript for writing automated test scripts.

⚡ API Testing – Familiarity with tools like Postman or RestAssured.
⚡ Database Testing – Knowledge of SQL for validating data integrity.
⚡ Detail-Oriented Thinker – You anticipate edge cases and ensure real-world scenarios are covered.
⚡ Great Communicator – You collaborate effectively with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders.
⚡ Proactive Mindset – You take initiative, own the testing process, and drive quality improvements.

Nice to Have:

• Knowledge of Java
