[Hiring] Senior QA Engineer @Cyclops

Role Description

As a Senior QA Engineer , you will be responsible for quality in a new product squad working in US hours on a crypto payment platform. The role is automation-first:

• Write and maintain automated tests on top of a shared test framework.
• Move routine regression into CI.
• Complement automation with hands-on exploratory and acceptance testing for client-facing releases.
• Success means the squad ships client-facing functionality confidently.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a QA Engineer on web applications.
• Strong experience writing and maintaining automated test scripts for UI, API, or backend tests.
• Good programming skills in TypeScript.
• Proficiency in a modern automation framework, i.e. Playwright.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on manual testing skills: exploratory, regression, smoke, and acceptance testing.
• Hands-on experience with API testing tools such as Insomnia or Postman.
• Proficiency in writing SQL queries for testing and data verification.
• Understanding of the test pyramid and automation strategy.
• Proficient use of AI tooling in test design and coding, with critical review of AI-generated output.
• Prior crypto experience is optional; building a working understanding of crypto and stablecoin payment flows on the job is a mandatory part of the role.
• High agency: you raise quality risks while they are still cheap to fix and drive them to a decision.
• Strong written and verbal communication in English.

Requirements

• Fintech, payments, or crypto domain experience (preferred).
• Experience with Jira and TestRail (or similar products).
• Experience configuring CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI).

• Compensation and engagement terms will be outlined in your contractor agreement.
• Company issued laptop.
• Technology Accessories.
• Annual In-Person Full-Team Meetup.
