We are looking for a Senior Automation QA Engineer (AQA) to join a CommIT team delivering mission-critical systems for a leading financial institution. You will own test automation end-to-end across a layered banking architecture, building the frameworks, suites, and pipelines that keep quality high in a secure, highly regulated environment.
This is a hands-on senior role for an engineer who treats test code with the same rigor as production code. You will define automation strategy, drive coverage across UI, API, and integration layers, and embed automated quality gates into the delivery process. We build with modern, AI-assisted workflows, so QA engineers who are fluent with tools like Cursor and Claude Code will feel at home.
Architecture You Will Test
Build, maintain, and optimize automated test pipelines in CI/CD, and embed quality gates into the build and release process.
Define test strategy, test plans, and coverage; partner with developers on where unit, integration, and end-to-end tests belong.
Validate asynchronous and event-driven flows (e.g. RabbitMQ / Kafka) and verify data integrity across services and databases.
Triage failures, perform root-cause analysis, log and track defects, and report on quality metrics and release readiness.
Work within the bank's SDLC and governance — change management, environment promotion, and compliance gates.
Mentor team members on automation best practices and raise the overall quality bar.
Requirements
5+ years in QA with a strong focus on test automation.
Automation frameworks: hands-on with UI automation (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium) and API automation (e.g. Postman, REST Assured, or RestSharp).
Programming: proficiency writing test code in JavaScript / TypeScript and/or C#, aligned to the project stack.
Test types: solid experience across functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing, including unit/integration tooling such as Jest (JS/TS) and NUnit (.NET).
Layered architecture: experience testing across a Client → BFF → Middleware → Core structure, with a clear grasp of each tier's responsibilities and boundaries.
Messaging / event-driven: experience validating asynchronous flows with messaging and event-streaming tools such as RabbitMQ and Kafka.
CI/CD: integrating and running automated tests in pipelines (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) with Git.
Data validation: comfortable with REST APIs and SQL for verifying data across services and databases.
Banking / regulated SDLC: experience working within a bank's (or comparable regulated enterprise's) software development lifecycle and quality governance.
Analytical & communication skills: strong problem-solving and clear written and spoken English in a client-facing delivery setting.
Nice to have
Banking / financial domain depth — prior QA experience with core banking, payments, or other financial systems.
AI-assisted development — hands-on experience with tools such as Cursor or Claude Code for authoring and maintaining tests (ideally 1+ year).
