Senior QA Engineer

About the Role

The Senior QA Engineer is a key member of the team ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of Oradian's Core Banking System, with primary ownership of our automated testing strategy for web and mobile applications.
This role is automation and AI-centric. The main focus is building and evolving test automation frameworks using Playwright, and leveraging AI tools to deliver material gains in testing productivity and quality: not just adopting AI tooling, but demonstrating measurable improvements in coverage, speed, or defect detection as a result.
While automation is the core focus, the role also requires a strong understanding of manual QA practices and the ability to support manual testing activities when needed.
The role works closely with developers and infrastructure teams and requires deep technical skills, autonomy, and the seniority to set direction on testing strategy and mentor others.
