The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

We are growing rapidly and constantly expanding our global contactless payment

ecosystem. To support this momentum, we are looking for a Software Development

Engineer in Test to play a crucial role in delivering our key software solutions. Joining a

close-knit engineering team, you will not just write tests—you will champion a quality-first

mindset from day one.

You will collaborate closely with domain owners to deliver high-quality, clean, and testable

code in line with our core strategies. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated SDET

who is ready to advocate for best practices, build resilient automation frameworks, and

ensure our scalable software thrives within a secure cloud infrastructure.

Responsibilities

● Design, build, and deliver sustainable, scalable, reliable, and well-tested software

into a secure cloud infrastructure.

● Advocate for and implement testing best practices across all disciplines, promoting a

quality-driven and testable mindset within the team.

● Foster a collaborative environment where everyone shares the responsibility for

quality and testing from the very outset of a project.

● Guide the team during planning and refinement sessions to accurately understand

and estimate test efforts and identify dependencies.

● Pair with Software Engineers during development and code review to ensure

appropriate test coverage at all levels and avoid any duplication of efforts.

● Develop and maintain robust tools for integration, regression, load, performance, and

security testing, ensuring our automation framework is targeted, efficient, and

resilient.

● Investigate and determine the root cause of complex issues by analyzing logs,

databases, and system behavior.

● You are highly proficient in diverse testing strategies (TDD, BDD, Black/White Box),

alongside mocking/stubbing, test data management, and test results reporting.

● You have hands-on experience with native Golang testing packages and UI

frameworks like Playwright. (Note: If you are proficient in another language, we will

train you as long as you are committed to learning Golang!)

● You are experienced with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices (including Infrastructure

as Code), and cloud platforms like GCP, alongside a strong understanding of

event-based, distributed microservice architectures and containerization.

● You have a solid grasp of core software engineering fundamentals (Git workflows,

OOP, SOLID principles, design patterns) and software security practices (vulnerability

assessments, penetration testing).

written communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and a passion for sharing

knowledge and delivering work you take pride in.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 4 points (from 65 before penalties). Reviewed 23 Sep 2026.
