About Incard

Incard’s mission is to build the financial operating system for entrepreneurs.

We are focused on creating a system where business banking, financial tools, and application logic are coordinated into a single control layer.

Through the app store, entrepreneurs and developers can build industry-specific functionality as their business evolves.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a Senior Automation QA Engineer to own and scale Incard’s automated quality assurance strategy.

You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing robust, reliable, and scalable QA automation across backend, frontend, mobile, and integrations. This role is critical in ensuring Incard can ship fast without compromising correctness, especially in a regulated fintech environment.

This role is ideal for someone who sees QA as engineering, not validation and who enjoys building frameworks, tooling, and quality systems that teams trust.

What You’ll Do

Own QA Automation End-to-End

Design, build, and maintain Incard’s automation testing strategy

Own test coverage across backend APIs, frontend, mobile, and integrations

Treat test automation as first-class infrastructure

Automation Frameworks & Tooling

Build and maintain automated test frameworks for:

API and backend services

Web applications

Mobile applications

Integrations with external providers (banks, PSPs, partners)

Ensure tests are reliable, fast, maintainable, and easy to extend

CI/CD & Release Quality

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines

Enforce quality gates before releases

Reduce regressions and production incidents through automation

Quality Strategy & Coverage

Define test strategies across unit, integration, E2E, and regression testing

Identify high-risk areas and design automation around critical flows

Ensure strong coverage for money movement, cards, analytics, and workflows

Collaboration & Enablement

Work closely with Backend, Frontend, Mobile, and Product teams

Help engineers write testable code and improve testability

Participate in design reviews to anticipate edge cases and failure modes

Reliability & Continuous Improvement

Monitor flaky tests and improve reliability

Continuously improve test execution speed and signal quality

Contribute to post-incident analysis with a quality lens

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in QA Automation or Software Engineering in Test

Strong experience building automation frameworks from scratch

Solid understanding of API testing, integration testing, and E2E testing

Experience testing distributed systems and asynchronous workflows

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated release processes

Strong understanding of software quality principles and risk-based testing

Clear communicator who collaborates effectively with engineering teams

Nice to Have

Experience testing fintech, payments, or other regulated systems

Experience with mobile automation (iOS / Android)

Familiarity with performance or load testing

Experience testing event-driven or workflow-based systems

Mindset We Look For

Quality-as-a-product mindset — you build systems, not checklists

Obsession with correctness, reliability, and trust

Pragmatic engineer — strong opinions, loosely held

Low ego, highly collaborative, and proactive

Comfortable challenging assumptions when quality is at risk

Startup DNA — ownership, speed, and accountability

Benefits:

Competitive cash-based compensation

Incard stock options

25 days of paid time off per year, plus bank holidays and your birthday off

Global health insurance and unlimited paid sick leave
