We’re not the brand on the app. We’re the layer underneath it, the one that makes the data meaningful, the experience personal, and the bank worth opening. Meniga’s offices are in London, Reykjavik, Warsaw and Cairo.\nQA Lead\nQuality for financial intelligence used by 100M+ people across the world’s leading banks.\nTHE WORK\nWe’re scaling engineering to match a growing business and a full commitment to AI. The platform is in active transformation across performance, architecture, and AI, and quality has to keep pace with it. As QA Lead you’ll be the technical heart of our testing. You’ll be a hands-on engineer first and a lead second. You’ll write tests in C#, break things, and build the automation that lets us ship with confidence. You’ll also lead our QA Guild and help two Testers grow into stronger engineers.\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\nGenerate tests at scale with AI.Use Claude Code, Cursor and similar tools to produce meaningful functional, API, integration and regression coverage quickly, and to ramp up fast on highly complex .NET codebases you’ve never seen before.\nPut quality into the pipeline.Build and own test automation in CI/CD so that every change is verified automatically, and failures tell you something useful.\nOwn performance and load testing.Find the bottlenecks in database-heavy, high-volume systems before our clients’ customers do.\nCover the full spectrum.Functional, regression, integration, API, performance and exploratory testing, with the judgement to know which one matters for a given risk.\nLead the QA Guild.Set the technical standard, share practices across squads, and make sure testing knowledge compounds instead of living in one person’s head.\nGrow two Testers.Coach them, pair with them, give honest feedback, and show them a clear path from manual testing toward automation and engineering depth.\nWork shoulder to shoulder with engineers.Join squad discussions early, review code, challenge designs for testability, and push back when shortcuts threaten reliability. Not as bureaucracy, but because you care what ships.\nTreat Support tickets as signal.Turn production issues into better tests so the same bug never ships twice.\nWHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR\nStrong, production-hardened C#/.NET.You write real code, read complex services, and work out where they will break. You’re as comfortable in the codebase as the engineers you work with.\nAI-native.AI tools are a natural part of how you work, and you use them to multiply your output, not just to autocomplete.\nTest automation experience.You’ve built frameworks and pipelines, not just maintained scripts. You know how to keep suites fast, stable and trusted.\nPerformance testing experience.You’ve designed and run load and stress tests and can interpret what the results mean.\nDatabase-aware.You understand data-heavy systems and can test them properly (MSSQL or PostgreSQL). This is not CRUD territory.\nA bias for tests over paperwork.You care about coverage, signal and confidence, not test plans nobody reads. Process exists to serve quality, never the other way around.\nA natural mentor.You enjoy making other people better and can inspire a small team without needing a large title.\nCan-do under constraints.On-premises bank environments are demanding. You find a way, not an excuse.\nBusiness-minded.You understand what’s at stake for our clients and can weigh risk sensibly.\nTECH\nMust have:C# / .NET · Test automation in CI/CD · API and functional testing · Performance testing (e.g. k6, JMeter, Gatling, NBomber) · MSSQL or PostgreSQL · AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude Code)\nNice to have:Playwright / Selenium · Kafka · RabbitMQ · Azure · GCP · Kubernetes · Docker · Python · Fintech\nMost systems run on premises at client sites and are actively migrating toward cloud. You’ll work with real constraints, not clean-slate architecture.\nWHAT YOU GET\nCompetitive salary + equity: B2B, 24-29k PLN + VAT, + ESOPs\nHybrid: 2 days in office, 3 remote\nPrivate healthcare, fitness, meal and phone allowance\nA team where technical opinions are welcomed, not managed\nSoftware that runs inside real global banks, used by millions of people every day\nReal influence over how quality is done at Meniga\nHOW WE HIRE\nScreening (30 min call):Real projects, real decisions, real trade-offs.\nMeet the CTO (15 min):We want to understand how you think and what you care about. So does he.\n90 min interview (onsite or call):One real quality problem (C# test automation + test strategy + AI), a discussion of performance and pipeline testing, and a conversation about how you’d lead and grow a small QA team. AI tools are welcome.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4706,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T19:43:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T06:52:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":88932,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/meniga-automation-qa-lead-net","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/meniga-automation-qa-lead-net.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T14:29:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33554,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":56941},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=56941"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmeniga-automation-qa-lead-net"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmeniga-automation-qa-lead-net"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmeniga-automation-qa-lead-net"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/meniga-automation-qa-lead-net\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmeniga-automation-qa-lead-net"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3831879}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"meniga.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3831879},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
