Software Tester

Why You Should Apply
- Opportunity for professionals with both manual and automation testing experience to participate in a transition towards greater automation. Automation expertise is not required.
- As a senior team member, you will mentor and guide junior testers, positioning yourself for a leadership role within 1-2 years.
- Play a key role in shaping the automation strategy, experimenting with tools, and identifying test cases for future automation.
- Join a stable, global financial services company (non-bank) that has operated in Malaysia for 5 years, offering a locally regulated product suite.

What You Will Do
- Serve as the most senior Tester/QA in the team, responsible for manual test coverage, validating system behavior, identifying edge cases, and ensuring release quality across complex business workflows and system integrations.
- Translate business requirements into effective test strategies and scenarios, and perform functional, UAT, and regression testing.
- Guide junior testers and act as the liaison between testing and product & engineering teams to identify root causes for defects.
- Identify test cases suitable for automation and develop basic automated test scripts using tools such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
- Collaborate with DevOps and engineers to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, with support for strategy and scripting.
- This is not a people manager role; you will not directly manage junior testers. Leadership experience is not required, making this an ideal "in-between step" for senior testers seeking career advancement.

What You Will Need
- Willingness to work hands-on in a primarily manual environment while supporting the transition to automation.
- Ability to work independently and drive digital transformation without relying on a large team or strict SOPs.
- Experience in fintech, tech companies, product companies, or digital transformation teams within enterprise/MNC environments. Experience in other highly regulated industries is also welcome.
- At least 1 year of experience with automation tools (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright), including basic scripting. Exposure to API testing is a bonus.
- Ex-software engineers who have transitioned into testing/QA roles are encouraged to apply.
