Introduction

Our partner is a trusted provider of secure and accessible payment services, operating a nationwide network that enables seamless bill payments and financial transactions. With a strong focus on reliability, compliance, and customer experience, they ensure secure, high-availability services and scalable payment solutions across multiple channels.

Description

  • Evaluate and operationalize AI‑first E2E + API testing platforms in our environment (staging/QA).
  • Set up and run the first meaningful E2E/API test flows (breadth smoke + depth on critical journeys).
  • Integrate test execution with existing delivery pipelines (CI/CD) where feasible, and define lightweight execution schedules otherwise.
  • Design a stable regression pack for top‑risk user journeys and critical APIs.
  • Actively reduce flakiness: test data strategy, environment readiness checks, locator strategy, retries only where justified.
  • Validate AI‑generated tests and AI suggestions: treat AI output as a hypothesis, not ground truth.
  • Produce high‑quality defect reports and handover to dev teams (clear repro steps, evidence, severity, suspected root cause).
  • Document the "how we run this" playbook: ownership, triage, metrics, guardrails.

  • Document the "how we run this" playbook: ownership, triage, metrics, guardrails.

Expectations

  • 7+ years in test automation / SDET roles, with proven delivery in fast‑moving environments.
  • Strong E2E automation fundamentals (web UI + API). Familiarity with modern frameworks (Playwright/Cypress/Selenium, REST testing tooling).
  • CI/CD integration experience (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins or similar).
  • Solid understanding of test strategy, test data, and reliability engineering for automated tests.
  • Ability to work with partially documented systems and converge quickly via stakeholder interviews.
  • Comfortable validating AI‑generated outputs and building safeguards.
  • Strong communication: can work with product owners, developers, and external vendors.
  • AI‑first platform(s) running in our environment with stable access + test accounts.
  • First meaningful E2E/API flows executed and validated.
  • Regression pack for the highest risk journeys running reliably.
  • Clear triage + handover process established with measurable outcomes (true positives, flake rate, cycle time).

Advantages

  • Experience in fintech, payments, neobank, POS, or other regulated domains.
  • Experience with codeless/low‑code testing platforms (Virtuoso/Testim/Mabl/Functionize/etc.).
  • Security testing awareness (basic OWASP, DAST concepts) – not required, but valuable.

Employer's offer

  • Hybrid (office/home office) presence
  • An attractive compensation package
  • Internal regular events
  • Family-friendly workplace
  • Outstanding, modern office environment

Swicon Stories

Real people. Real challenges. Real impact.

„The whole hiring process was a really positive experience for me. I was given the opportunity to move forward professionally and to test myself in a new, more senior role. I was trusted from the start, and I had all the support I needed to take the next step in my career with confidence. They connected me with the right technical contact, and every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, so I never felt left on my own. Communication was smooth, each step built on the one before, and the whole process moved surprisingly fast and without a hitch.”

K. R. – Solution Architect

“Looking back over more than 15 years, Swicon gets top marks from me: it has built itself into a fast-growing multinational, and all the while it has backed its people professionally across the board — it even supported my PMP certification with a proper training course.”

B. T. – Sr. Projectmanager

“I’ve been working with SWICON for almost a year and a half now, and it’s been a positive experience from start to finish. Both the hiring process and the admin side of things ran smoothly, and whenever I had a question, help came quickly. I particularly appreciate how kind and helpful my colleagues are, and the fact that the company genuinely invests in building a community — there are regular programmes and events.
I’ve grown a lot professionally in my time here, too. My tasks and my responsibilities have kept widening, I’ve been able to take on more complex challenges, and I’ve also had the chance to support and mentor others. On the IT side I’ve been given opportunities that made a real difference to where I am professionally, so on the whole I see SWICON as a supportive place that gives you genuine room to grow.”
