A Day In The Life Collaborate with developers and product managers to understand feature requirements. Review feature specifications and design detailed test cases. Perform manual tests on payment gateway systems, including transaction flows and API validations. Identify, log, and track defects using tools like JIRA and prioritize them for resolution. Conduct regression testing to ensure system stability after updates. Participate in team discussions to troubleshoot and resolve issues. Document test results and prepare for upcoming sprint activities. Key Qualifications And Skills 5 - 7 years of QA experience, with at least 3 years in payment gateways, fintech, or banking systems. Strong knowledge of payment processing. Experience with REST/SOAP APIs, webhooks, and encryption (TLS, AES, RSA). Familiarity with PCI-DSS, PSD2, GDPR, and AML/KYC processes. Proficiency in SQL for database validation (transaction logs, ledger entries). Hands-on experience with JMeter, Postman, Selenium, or similar tools. Knowledge of blockchain-based payouts (optional but a plus). Key Responsibilities Test Planning & Strategy: Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts for payment processing, refunds, chargebacks, settlements, and fraud detection.

Functional & Integration Testing: Validate API integrations with banks, PSPs (Payment Service Providers) and third-party vendors. Test transaction flows (success, failure, retries, timeouts) and edge cases. Security & Compliance Testing: Perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and data encryption checks. Ensure PCI compliance and adherence to EMV, 3D Secure (3DS2), and SCA (Strong Customer Authentication). Performance & Load Testing: Conduct stress testing to evaluate system behaviour under high transaction volumes (TPS - Transactions Per Second). Identify bottlenecks in authorization, settlement, and reconciliation processes. Automation & Tools: Develop and maintain automated test scripts (using tools like Postman, Selenium, JMeter, or Karate). Work with CI/CD pipelines for regression testing. Defect Management: Log, track, and prioritize bugs using JIRA, Bugzilla, or similar tools. Collaborate with developers, product managers, and compliance teams for issue resolution.
