Verify back-office processes: reconciliation, corrections, and operational workflows.
Execute regression testing during releases, infrastructure changes, and platform migrations.
Create and maintain test cases, checklists, and test documentation.
Analyze defects, document findings, and drive resolution with engineering and product teams.
Collect and track QA metrics to improve testing effectiveness and product quality.
Contribute to API-level automation of transaction flow testing as coverage expands.
What makes you a strong fit
Experience testing backend systems and REST APIs.
Confident use of Postman or similar API testing tools.

Understanding of card processing and payment flows: authorization, hold, capture, reversal, chargeback.

Strong grasp of software testing principles, defect investigation, and test design techniques.
