Drive high reliability of digital products in a hybrid work model ensuring secure and seamless user journeys with added advantage if experienced in cards and payments domain.\nResponsibilities\nDesign comprehensive test strategies that cover functional regression integration compatibility and end to end flows for complex enterprise applications built on Java technology stack using a hybrid work arrangement\nDevelop scalable and maintainable automated test frameworks using Selenium and TestNG that enable rapid feedback and support continuous integration pipelines for high quality releases\nImplement robust RestAssured based API automation suites that validate request and response structures status codes and business rules for internal and external services\nExecute detailed manual and automated test scenarios that cover happy path boundary negative and exploratory cases while carefully documenting steps data and observed outcomes\nAnalyze test results and defect patterns to identify systemic quality gaps then collaborate with engineers to propose practical improvements in code test data and environment configuration\nCollaborate closely with product owners business analysts and developers to refine acceptance criteria clarify edge cases and ensure that stories and features are fully testable before development starts\nCreate and maintain high quality test data and environment configurations that mirror production scenarios ensuring reliable reproducibility of issues without disrupting other project teams\nContribute to performance and reliability checks by designing lightweight scripts or scenarios that uncover latency bottlenecks timeouts and resource constraints in critical business workflows\nCoordinate with DevOps or platform teams to integrate automated tests into build pipelines so that quality gates prevent defective code from reaching higher environments or customers\nDocument clear reproducible defect reports with relevant logs screenshots and execution context so that engineers can quickly isolate root causes and deliver effective fixes\nMentor junior quality engineers by reviewing their test designs automation code and defect reports while promoting consistent engineering standards and continuous learning practices\nPartner with stakeholders from cards and payments or related financial services when applicable to validate domain specific rules such as transaction flows authorization checks and settlement conditions\nCommunicate concise and data driven quality status updates including risk assessments defect trends and release readiness indicators to relevant project members during day shifts in a hybrid environment\nQualifications\nDemonstrate strong hands on proficiency in Java programming including object oriented design reusable utilities and debugging techniques applied to test automation projects\nExhibit advanced experience using Selenium for web application testing including page interaction synchronization handling dynamic elements and maintaining robust locator strategies\nApply solid working knowledge of TestNG including annotations test suites data providers and reporting features to structure reliable and readable automation suites\nShow proven expertise in RestAssured for testing RESTful services including request specification response validation schema checks and authentication mechanisms\nDisplay sound understanding of software testing principles including test design techniques defect life cycle risk based testing and continuous quality practices within agile teams\nBring prior exposure to cards and payments or similar financial services where test scenarios involve transaction lifecycles fraud checks limits and compliance rules even if gained on a smaller scale\nAdapt effectively to a hybrid work model by using collaboration tools clear written communication and structured updates to keep distributed team members aligned on quality
