Senior QA Engineer - Payments

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Join the Payments team at LeoVegas Group as a Senior QA Engineer, focusing on payment-critical flows such as deposits, withdrawals, contract lifecycles, and compliance-driven features. You will take end-to-end ownership of quality for squad-level payment features, working hands-on with automation and end-to-end validation.

In this role, you will act as a strong technical QA partner, collaborating closely with backend (Java/Kotlin, Kafka, REST, MySQL), frontend (TypeScript), and mobile engineers. You will operate in an Agile environment with a mature CI/CD setup, working alongside product, security, and compliance stakeholders.

YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Owning end-to-end testing and verification for Payments features delivered by your squad

• Breaking down ambiguous testing problems and define scoped, pragmatic test approaches with engineers and product

• Designing, building and maintaining robust automation (API, contract, E2E) and reliable test data/mocks for complex payment scenarios

• Improving CI feedback loops, reduce flakiness, and close observability/monitoring gaps for your area

• Triaging and resolving critical production defects and being an escalation point for quality issues in your squad

• Reviewing test plans, automation code and providing actionable feedback to raise the team’s craft

• Contributing to cross-squad initiatives and share knowledge across the QA chapter

YOUR IMPACT:

• Writing clear, maintainable automation and test code; document test plans and design rationales

• Promoting non-functional quality: idempotency, data integrity, security, performance under load, and regulatory compliance

• Mentoring peers and collaborating proactively to improve processes, alerting and test coverage

• Communicating quality risk clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders

OUR SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING:

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• Proven experience testing payment systems, financial transactions or other regulated platforms with domain ownership

• English at a min. B2+ level

• Strong automation skills: API testing (REST), contract testing, and E2E - fluent in TypeScript, Java or Kotlin

• Good grasp of microservices and event-driven systems (Kafka); able to reason about distributed failures

• Practical experience improving CI/CD pipelines and test feedback loops

• Backend testing experience across Java/Kotlin, MySQL and REST APIs

• Clear communicator, able to translate technical risk to stakeholders

NICE TO HAVES

• Familiarity with payment concepts such as PSP integrations, idempotency, reconciliation, and contract state machines

• Experience testing performance and load in payment-critical flows

• Background in iGaming or another regulated industry

• Proficiency with test management tools (e.g. TestRail, Xray, Zephyr, or similar)

• Experience using mock data and mocking tools to simulate complex payment scenarios

• Experience with native app testing (TypeScript)

• Experience with Cucumber and Gherkin-based test automation

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives
