Senior QA automation

About Fintech Farm
We are a UK fintech creating successful neobanks in emerging markets in partnerships with local traditional banks.
Our success builds upon a best-in-class product, customer experience, emotional engagement, viral marketing, and deep credit decisioning expertise.
One of our founders had previously co-founded a highly successful Eastern European neobank with a multi-million customer base.
We launched our first market with Leobank in Azerbaijan in 2021, where we have already established market-leading positions. Our next market was Vietnam, where we launched Liobank in early 2023 and also gained solid traction.
We have a few more new markets in the pipeline for the next 12 months, and we are starting to build the team there.
Why Fintech Farm is a great place to be
Our ambition. We are looking to become a leading consumer digital bank brand in each market we operate making it easy for consumers to interact with their money. You could be a part of this exciting journey.

Our culture.
Customers. We always go above and beyond to provide an amazing customer experience. We serve our customers the way we would want our mom to be served. And who said that banking has to be boring? We make our apps not just easy but fun to use.
People. We are all business partners in our company. Each of us thinks big, acts as if we own the place, and never takes “No” as an answer. We work with strong individuals whom we empower and trust rather than micromanage. Common sense rather than formal policies prevails in all that we do. We always stay curious and open-minded. We embrace the We over Me culture.

• AI Tools in Testing: Use tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, and Cline to boost productivity, analyze test cases, and streamline debugging workflows.




• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps to detect, report, and troubleshoot issues, and drive quality throughout the development lifecycle.

• Autonomy and initiative: You’re ready to hit the ground running, taking ownership of tasks from any area of the product and driving them to completion with minimal supervision.




• Analytical mindset: You approach complex testing scenarios with clarity, logic, and a solution-oriented mindset.




• Collaboration & communication: You work well in cross-functional teams, are comfortable giving and receiving feedback, and can clearly communicate technical insights.
