About Currencycloud
Currencycloud is somewhere where innovative thinking and the power of technology know no limits. We know that the success of the business depends on the people who keep it moving, which is why we are looking for exceptional talent to join our international payments revolution.
We are an open & collaborative Fintech unicorn that lives and breathes our company values: Be Human, Better Together and Own it.
Remote working?It’s a key topic at the moment, we have addressed this by implementing a “Remote-First” policy. What this ultimately means is you have the choice as to whether you Work Fully Remotely, or visit the lush offices in London, Cardiff or Amsterdam; it’s up to you!
About the role...We’re looking for a number of experienced, motivated and talented QA Automation Engineers and Senior Automation QA Engineers to help us build the technology that will power the future of payments.
The QA Engineer role is an ambassador of quality. You should strive to ensure that we are maintaining a high level of quality across all our processes. You will consider and suggest improvements within the development process. You will also be responsible for the estimation, planning and execution of test cases, both automated and manual and you will ensure any defects in quality are logged appropriately and see them through to completion.

What you'll get to do?

  • You’ll be joining one of our agile Product squads which consist of an Engineering Manager, Software Engineers and fellow QAs, and will play a key role in ensuring the team delivers simple, scalable solutions for a wide range of problems. This process involves planning sessions with the engineering team and discussions around designing the solution. We are a team who are always looking for ways to improve our process, and your experience and curiosity will help us do that. Part of the role involves demoing new features and functionality to stakeholders.
  • Participating in agile ceremonies such as standup, backlog grooming etc., working closely with developers and operations on testing new features and upgrades within the team product area and maintaining existing, building new and adding to automation frameworks to improve test coverage

What skills & experience you'll need:

  • EXPERIENCE
  • A complete understanding of lean and agile methods of software delivery and the principles and practices of BDD, ATDD and TDD
  • Flexibility in working around logistic and technical blockers
  • The ability to work closely with non-technical and technical stakeholders in order to determine accurate acceptance criteria

  • SKILLS / TECH
  • Automated testing API or UI frameworks, ideally using Java, Ruby or Javascript
  • Experience with BDD style tools such as Cucumber
  • API testing and tools - e.g. Postman, Restassured, Newman
  • AWS deployments or deployment tools - e.g. Jenkins
  • Diagnosing, reporting, tracking and resolving quality issues utilising ticketing systems and documentation software - e.g. JIRA and Confluence
  • Containerisation and management of tools like Docker and Kubernetes is desirable but not essential

  • PERSONALITY
  • Attention to detail
  • Written and verbal communication
  • Critical thinking, interpretive and analytic abilities
  • Team working and workload management skills
  • Soft skills e.g the ability to communicate improvements and challenges effectively, being able to say no when necessary, and a strong willingness to improve
