Get to Know the Role
As a Lead Software Engineer in Test (SET) within the Payments team, you will define and execute the quality strategy for high-stakes, real-time financial systems. You'll ensure the code we ship is resilient, compliant, and production-ready by embedding quality from the earliest stages of development.
You'll work hands-on to craft scalable test plans and frameworks while ensuring robust coverage across unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end layers.
You will be reporting to Head of Engineering, PayX. This is a hybrid role and you will be in office 3 days a week.
