About us:
We are a leading fintech company providing cutting-edge technological solutions to the online trading industry, and we are looking for a talented QA Automation Developer to join our R&D department.
About the Role:
As a QA Automation Developer, you will design, implement, and maintain automated tests for both UI and API layers within a high-performance trading ecosystem. You will work closely with developers, QA engineers, Product, and DevOps to ensure high-quality delivery across complex distributed systems. This is a hands-on role requiring strong coding abilities, deep understanding of testing methodologies, and experience working with modern automation frameworks—primarily Python and Playwright.
Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using Python and Playwright for UI and end-to-end flows.
• Build and extend internal automation frameworks, improving stability, scalability, and reusability.
• Develop automated tests for backend services and APIs, including validation, integration flows, and negative testing.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure reliable execution in dynamic environments.
• Collaborate with developers and QA to define testing strategies and ensure proper coverage and testability.
• Investigate test failures, analyze logs, identify root causes, and work with relevant teams to resolve issues.
• Maintain and evolve regression automation suites to reduce manual testing effort and increase release confidence.
• Participate in design, requirement, and architecture reviews to spot risks early and push for automation-driven quality.
• 2+ years of experience in automation development.
• Strong programming skills in Python, including writing clean, reusable, and maintainable test code.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar UI automation tools (Playwright required, selenium advantage).
• Experience with API automation using Python-based frameworks or libraries (e.g., requests, pytest, custom frameworks).
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, testing strategies, and SDLC processes.
• Experience with pytest or other Python testing frameworks.
• Familiarity with containers and running tests in Dockerized environments.
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins / GitLab / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps).
• Good understanding of relational databases and ability to write SQL queries.
• Experience with Git-based workflows.
• High analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to own tasks end-to-end.
• Strong communication skills and high level of English.
Advantages:
• Experience with Playwright for Python specifically (multi-browser automation, parallelism, fixtures).
• Experience testing distributed systems, trading platforms, or high-load environments.
• Experience with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Knowledge of microservices architecture.
• Experience with performance tools such as k6, JMeter, or Locust.
• Fintech / Capital Markets experience.
