About us:
Airtm is a financial-infrastructure company building the future of the online-work economy. We are on a mission to empower the world's growing number of Digital Entrepreneurs in the Global South, giving them the financial freedom to thrive.
The problem is clear: in emerging markets, accessing the dollar economy is difficult. Cross-border payments are slow, expensive, and often lose value to inflation. This limits the potential of millions of talented individuals.
Airtm’s solution is a swift and comprehensive financial platform that facilitates low-value cross-border payments and local cash-outs. As pioneers in stablecoin-payment infrastructure, Airtm has built the most advanced cross-border payment system available on the market.
As a company married to the world of online work, Airtm will go beyond payments to build the necessary infrastructure the online-work economy needs to thrive. We are fostering an entirely new economy, giving individuals, communities, and countries the tools to take control of their financial destinies.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer who is passionate about quality, clarity, and catching issues before they make it to production.

- Analyze product specifications to derive comprehensive and testable acceptance criteria

- Manually test complex or new features before automation coverage is established
- Monitor and improve test coverage and reliability over time
- Contribute to CI/CD processes by integrating tests into our deployment pipeline
- Raise the bar for quality through thoughtful bug reports, feedback, and documentation
Experience and skills required:
- 5+ years of experience in QA or software testing, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role
- Proven experience testing modern web applications, ideally built with React
- Strong understanding of backend services, APIs (REST and GraphQL), and common failure scenarios
- Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, or similar)
- Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD tools, and test environments
- Ability to read and understand frontend and backend code when debugging or writing tests
- Excellent communication skills and a proactive, detail-oriented mindset
- Advanced / Fluent in English.
Nice to have:
- Experience working in agile or cross-functional teams
