QA Engineer (Payments Crypto)

Why this role matters

As a QA Engineer, you will join our established Payments Crypto team, working on products and services supporting cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, internal asset management tools, and audit and regulatory workflows.

Working within a mature, cross-functional Scrum team, you will collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and product owners to ensure the quality and reliability of our products.

Beyond developing and maintaining automated tests, we are looking for someone who can take ownership of testing activities, effectively manage priorities, proactively identify risks, and drive improvements in QA processes.

This is a hands-on engineering role with opportunities to take technical ownership, influence testing practices, and support other QA engineers within the team.

The role is based in our Limassol office, Cyprus. In case of relocation, we offer full relocation support for you and your family to make your move smooth and worry-free.

What you'll actually do

• During refinement and sprint‑planning meetings, define scope, test approach, and acceptance criteria ahead of development, ensuring estimates include both manual and automated work
• Prepare and configure test environments (data, mocks, feature flags) and then execute functional, regression, and exploratory tests; log actionable defects with clear steps to reproduce
• Design, implement, and maintain UI, API, e2e, and integration tests in the shared framework, adhering to test‑design techniques (equivalence classes, boundary values)
• Maintaining effective test suites
• Act as an active contributor to the automation framework: add new modules (reporting plug‑ins, service mocks), refactor legacy code for scalability, review flaky tests, and drive improvements in stability and coverage, ensuring the framework remains reliable, efficient, and valuable for the whole team
• Integrate automated checks into GitLab CI; monitor pipelines, analyse failures quickly, and collaborate with DevOps to keep feedback loops short
• Participate in production deployments; trigger and monitor post‑deploy acceptance tests on production, confirm key user journeys with real data, and give go/no‑go feedback to stakeholders
• Provide a daily status that separates manual and automated results, highlights blockers and risks, and suggests preventive actions
• Work closely with developers, DevOps, designers, and product owners throughout the sprint to maintain a shared understanding of quality goals
• Share test findings in grooming and demo sessions
• Mentors team members in quality engineering
• Establish and maintain quality standards across all stages of the SDLC
• Support testing of larger, cross-team features and lead integration testing when needed

Who we’re looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• ISTQB Foundation or similar certificates are a plus
• 5+ years of proven experience as a Quality Assurance Engineer in backend and frontend application testing
• Strong knowledge of the testing process, methodologies, approaches, and test design techniques (e.g., boundary values, equivalence classes)
• Strong knowledge of SQL. Understanding of REST API and web services technologies
• Experience in automation with Python (Pytest, Playwright) or related technologies
• Experience with Allure and CI systems such as GitLab. Experience with Kubernetes
• Experience testing cryptocurrency products is a plus
• Proactively identify opportunities and adopt AI tools to enhance test design, code review, root-cause analysis, and development workflows, reducing repetitive work, increasing coverage, and strengthening engineering feedback loops across the team
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to make pragmatic technical decisions
• English level B2+

What we offer along the way

• Competitive salary and annual performance bonus
• Full relocation support for you and your family — flights, housing, visas, and legal assistance included
• Top-tier health insurance with full family coverage — medical, dental, vision, mental health — plus life insurance for peace of mind
• Unlimited learning opportunities: external courses, English lessons, career and leadership development
• Education allowance covering school and kindergarten fees
• 21 working days of annual leave, plus public holidays and fully paid sick, maternity, and paternity leave
• Employee appreciation program: branded gifts, celebration budgets for weddings, newborns, and milestones

• Employee share scheme — grow with us
• Branded MINI Cooper Countryman company car and private parking
• Free in-house sports clubs, Sanctum Club gym access, and jet skis
