Design and maintain scalable, modular UI/API/service-level/Database automation frameworks (preferably in Java/C#/TypeScript/Python) using tools like Selenium/WebDriver, Playwright, Cypress, RestAssured, Postman
Implement robust test data management, environment selectors, and parallel execution at scale; champion test stability (flaky test reduction)
Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab CI) with gating policies, test dashboards, and quality thresholds (code coverage, pass rates, performance baselines)
Shift-left: PR-level unit/contract tests; shift-right: synthetic monitoring and observability validations post-deploy
Author automation for end-to-end payment journeys: initiation → validation → routing → posting → notifications → reconciliation
Validate file and real-time rails: Wires/SWIFT (MT/MX, ISO 20022), RTP, FedNow, Chips
Verify message schemas (e.g., ISO 20022 pain.001/pacs.008/camt), and SWIFT MX mapping; ensure idempotency, FX/fees/tax, cut-offs, holidays, and retries
Build automation for performance, soak, and resilience (throughput/latency/error budgets, circuit breakers, back-pressure)
Execute chaos/failover/dr testing: timeouts, downstream unavailability, duplicate submissions, replay protection
Qualification

7–10+ years in test automation with 5+ years in banking/payments platforms
Strong in one or more: Java, C#, Python, or TypeScript; hands-on with Selenium/Playwright/Cypress and API testing (RestAssured/Postman)
Experience with message validation (JSON, XML, ISO 20022 schemas), file-based and real-time processing, asynchronous and event-driven systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ)
Solid grasp of CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Git, Docker/K8s, environment variables/secrets, and test parallelization
Proven capability with SQL and at least one NoSQL (e.g., Mongo); experience setting up synthetic test data and masking strategies
Familiarity with observability (Grafana, Splunk) to correlate test runs with system telemetry
Understanding of SWIFT/ISO 20022, FedNow principles, fraud and risk controls, and secure coding/testing practices
