Analyse results, investigate defects, and provide actionable feedback to development and product teams;
Contribute to performance, resilience, and other non-functional testing where needed;

Ability to design and maintain scalable, reusable, and reliable automation solutions;
Strong exploratory and manual testing skills;
Experience testing complex integrations or distributed systems is a plus;
FinTech, payments, or banking experience is a strong advantage;
Excellent English, both written and verbal.
A great match if you:
Think beyond individual test cases and take ownership of overall quality;
Know when to automate and when manual testing is the better approach;
Enjoy solving complex technical problems and improving the way things are tested;
Want to have a real impact on the quality of payment products used in a fast-growing FinTech environment.
We offer:
Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses;
Flexible hybrid work model with a cozy office in Sofia, Bulgaria;
Additional social benefits (additional health insurance, and fully funded MultiSport card);
Opportunity to join a new Payment Institution business;
Mentorship program and personalized career development plan;
