QA Test Automation Engineer - Payments
Join one of our Belgian clients in banking and payments as a QA Test Automation Engineer. Work on real payment platforms from Pristina, inside an international QA team with senior specialists around you. We are hiring multiple QA roles to build a small team in Kosovo for this client.
About the role
You will help clients build reliable, resilient and scalable payment solutions. Quality is part of the project from the start, not a final check at the end. You will design test strategies for complex payment platforms, translate requirements and payment flows into test scenarios, and build automated test cases and regression suites. You will test APIs, payment services and end-to-end flows, validate messages and processing outcomes, integrate test suites into Jenkins pipelines and investigate defects down to root cause. You do not need to know every payment scheme by heart, but you can explain how a payment moves through a system, which parties are involved and where issues can occur.
About the company
