Your Opportunity
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our Core Services Domain.
In this role, you’ll leverage your technical skills to develop, maintain, and support innovative solutions that solve real-world challenges in the payments industry.

- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality checks.
Tooling & Platform Support
Use industry-standard tools such as AccelQ, Playwright, JMeter, or similar testing frameworks. Provide L2 Support for both portal applications and API. Ensure all test automation frameworks and performance testing tools are optimally configured and maintained.
Performance & Load Testing
Define performance testing criteria and benchmark expectations for portals and APIs. Conduct performance, load, and stress testing to identify bottlenecks and system limitations. Configure key parameters (latency, throughput, response benchmarks) to validate API and portal performance. Diagnose performance issues and work with engineering teams to recommend improvements.

- Strong understanding of FinTech platform workflows and user journeys.
