QA / Quality Engineering Lead

Location: Limassol, Cyprus | Relocation

Industry: Fintech / Payments

We’re looking for a hands-on QA / Quality Engineering Lead to build and lead the quality engineering function for a modern payments platform.

This is not a traditional QA management role. We need a builder— someone who creates automation frameworks, test infrastructure and internal engineering tools that developers actually want to use.

What you’ll do

Build automation frameworks and test harnesses, primarily in Go

Develop test infrastructure for distributed payment systems

Build mocks, service virtualisation and test data management tools

Introduce AI-powered tools and agents for test generation, impact analysis, failure triage and root-cause investigation

Implement quality gates and automated quality signals in CI/CD

Define a risk-based quality strategy for APIs, payment flows, PSP integrations and customer journeys

Lead and develop the QA/QE team

Work closely with Engineering, Product, Platform, Security, Risk and Compliance

What we’re looking for

Strong hands-on software engineering skills, ideally Go

Experience building automation frameworks, test infrastructure or internal developer tools

7+ years in QA / Quality Engineering with leadership experience

Strong payments domain knowledge: PSPs, acquiring, 3DS/SCA, callbacks, retries, refunds, reversals, settlement & reconciliation

Strong API, integration and contract testing experience

Experience with distributed and asynchronous systems

SQL, logs, metrics and tracing for troubleshooting

CI/CD and Git-based development workflows

Experience using AI engineering tools with a disciplined approach to validation

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Nice to have: Kubernetes, cloud, event-driven architecture, observability, PCI DSS, PSD2/SCA, performance and resilience testing.

What We Offer

• Work on modern FinTech and payment products
• Supportive and collaborative team
• Modern office in Limassol, Cyprus
• Professional growth and leadership opportunities
• Competitive compensation package — up to €7,000 net
• Relocation support: flight tickets + accommodation for the first 2 weeks
