We are seeking an experienced QA Automation Engineer for our cross-border payment systems. You will join the QA team to build test automation from the ground up — we currently have no centralized automation framework. Your focus will cover API/integration automation and Web UI automation across the full platform, ensuring the reliability and quality of our cross-border payment systems.

What you'll do

• Automation Strategy & Framework (0-to-1): Design and implement the team's first automation framework for our Java microservices platform; define automation scope, test data strategy, and reporting standards for both API/integration and UI layers.
• End-to-End System Automation: Build repeatable automated test suites covering core cross-border payment platform flows — including open APIs, backoffice services, UI workflows, and cross-service async chains — to support regression of core business scenarios.
• Async & File-Based Testing: Automate validation of scheduled jobs, message-driven flows, and file-based business processes; verify multi-step, cross-service state transitions and outcomes.
• Database & State Validation: Develop SQL-based assertions across multiple databases to verify transaction state machines, processing results, and cross-service data consistency.
• Defect & Quality Assurance: Track issue resolution, verify fixes, and ensure automated test results meet release quality standards; report progress and risks regularly.
• CI/CD & Smoke Automation: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Alibaba Cloud DevOps / Codeup or similar); build and maintain smoke/connectivity checks for key dependencies before release.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams on environment readiness, test data setup, and release validation in a complex multi-vendor payment environment.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure automation coverage aligns with financial regulatory and payment-industry quality requirements.
