Software Quality Assurance Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Software Engineer in Test with deep, hands-on experience testing Loan Origination Systems (LOS) or broader lending/fintech/BFSI platforms. This is a senior individual contributor (or lead) role; you will drive quality strategy end-to-end for our finance-domain product modules, mentor junior QA members, and be a key voice in release sign-off decisions.

Must-Have Requirements

• 3+ years of QA/testing experience, with hands-on experience in LOS (Loan Origination System) or lending/fintech platforms
• Deep understanding of finance domain workflows - loan application, underwriting, credit assessment, disbursement, collections, or similar lending lifecycle stages
• Automation - hands-on experience building automation frameworks from scratch using Playwright or Selenium (not just running existing scripts)
• Proven experience testing integrations with credit bureaus, payment gateways, KYC/AML systems, or core banking systems
• Ability to write and troubleshoot automation scripts using Python, JavaScript, or Node.js
• Comfortable reading application code and debugging - able to collaborate directly with developers on root-cause analysis, not just log defects
• Experience in API testing and automation (Postman, REST Assured, or similar)
• Strong command of functional, regression, integration, system, and UAT testing across complex financial workflows
• Demonstrated use of AI tools (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or similar) in an engineering or QA workflow
• AI Agentic - working understanding of AI agents, agentic workflows, prompt engineering, and AI-driven automations.

Good to Have

• Exposure to regulatory/compliance testing (RBI guidelines, data privacy norms) relevant to lending products
• SQL skills for backend data validation
• Experience working with distributed/remote engineering teams
• Prior experience as a QA Lead or in a test strategy/ownership capacity

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive test strategy for LOS modules, translating complex business requirements into detailed test scenarios and test plans
• Lead functional, regression, integration, and system testing across the loan lifecycle
• Drive defect triage, root-cause analysis, and closure in collaboration with dev and product teams
• Validate data accuracy and business logic across underwriting, credit decisioning, and disbursement flows
• Lead/participate in UAT cycles with business and finance stakeholders
• Define and evolve test automation strategy and framework
• Ensure testing rigor aligns with compliance, audit, and regulatory requirements
• Mentor and support junior QA engineers on the team

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field
• ISTQB certification (preferred, not mandatory)

Work Mode

Fully remote. Candidates should have reliable internet connectivity and be comfortable with overlapping working hours for team syncs.
