About the job
We are looking for a visionary Automation Engineer to own the end-to-end testing strategy and infrastructure for our global payment and checkout experiences. This isn't just about writing scripts; it’s about architecting an AI-first testing ecosystem that empowers developers to ship code with total confidence.
Responsibilities
Strategic Ownership: Define and execute the E2E testing strategy for payment management and checkout flows, ensuring support for hundreds of global payment methods.
AI-First Engineering: Architect and build Generative AI-powered tools to automate scenario generation, intelligently detect regressions, and provide smart test guardrails.
Synthetic Data at Scale: Develop software solutions that generate high-quality, high-cardinality synthetic test data to simulate complex global payment permutations.
The "Healthy Contempt" for Flakiness: Design tools to automatically detect, quarantine, and reproduce flaky tests. Take responsibility for weekly deployment sign-offs.
Observability & Correlation: Integrate test coverage data with runtime traces and code changes to provide a 360-degree view of system health and reliability.
Full-Stack Verification: Identify gaps in the existing suite of integration, visual screenshot, API, mock, contract, and performance tests. Work with the team to prioritize and close gaps
Payment Integration: Facilitate seamless end-to-end testing and integration for all other engineering teams leveraging the payments platform.
Cultural Advocacy: Partner with cross-functional teams to foster a "reliability-first" culture, documenting frameworks and troubleshooting guides that elevate the entire engineering org.
Collaboration: Closely collaborate with engineers within the team and with partner teams to identify needs and influence the direction of testing infrastructure. Partner with product and engineering to define test strategies for new features.
Qualifications
Minimum
10+ years of engineering expertise
Preferred
Reliability First: You operate with a strong ownership mindset, treating the reliability of our payment systems as a "tier 0" priority.
Customer and Developer Experience (DX) Obsessed: You don't just build tests for yourself; you own the test strategy and build tools that make it easy for other developers to write and maintain high-quality tests.
Global Perspective: Experience navigating the nuances of global payments, including local regulations, diverse currencies, and regional checkout behaviors.
Ownership: Working within a highly talented team, you take full ownership and effectively drive success in your assigned areas. You will be responsible for setting the standards.
