Job Specifications

Hi connections,

Role-----Test Automation Engineer with Payment Domain

Locations-----Charlotte, North Carolina, NC, United States (Hybrid)

Kindly share resumes to ram.r@vysystems.com & https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramkumarjhen/

Job Description:

We’re looking for a seasoned Test Automation Engineer with deep experience in banking and payments to drive quality engineering across high‑throughput payment flows (e.g., Wires/SWIFT, FedNow, Chips, ISO 20022, ACH/NACHA, RTP). You’ll design robust automation frameworks, expand test coverage across APIs/services/UI, and embed quality into CI/CD for mission‑critical systems that demand security, resiliency, and regulatory compliance.

What You’ll Do

Build & Evolve Automation Frameworks

Design and maintain scalable, modular UI/API/service-level/Database automation frameworks (preferably in Java/C#/TypeScript/Python) using tools like Selenium/WebDriver, Playwright, Cypress, RestAssured, Postman.

Implement robust test data management, environment selectors, and parallel execution at scale; champion test stability (flaky test reduction).

Quality in CI/CD

Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab CI) with gating policies, test dashboards, and quality thresholds (code coverage, pass rates, performance baselines).

Shift-left: PR-level unit/contract tests; shift-right: synthetic monitoring and observability validations post-deploy.

Payments Domain Validation

Author automation for end-to-end payment journeys: initiation → validation → routing → posting → notifications → reconciliation.

Validate file and real-time rails: Wires/SWIFT (MT/MX, ISO 20022), RTP, FedNow, Chips.

Verify message schemas (e.g., ISO 20022 pain.001/pacs.008/camt), and SWIFT MX mapping; ensure idempotency, FX/fees/tax, cut-offs, holidays, and retries.

Non-Functional & Resilience Testing

Build automation for performance, soak, and resilience (throughput/latency/error budgets, circuit breakers, back-pressure).

Execute chaos/failover/dr testing: timeouts, downstream unavailability, duplicate submissions, replay protection.

Required Qualifications

7–10+ years in test automation with 5+ years in banking/payments platforms.

Strong in one or more: Java, C#, Python, or TypeScript; hands‑on with Selenium/Playwright/Cypress and API testing (RestAssured/Postman).

Experience with message validation (JSON, XML, ISO 20022 schemas), file-based and real-time processing, asynchronous and event-driven systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ).

Solid grasp of CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Git, Docker/K8s, environment variables/secrets, and test parallelization.

Proven capability with SQL and at least one NoSQL (e.g., Mongo); experience setting up synthetic test data and masking strategies.

Familiarity with observability (Grafana, Splunk) to correlate test runs with system telemetry.

Understanding of SWIFT/ISO 20022, FedNow principles, fraud and risk controls, and secure coding/testing practices.

Nice-to-Have

Contract testing with schema-first approaches (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI).

Domain exposure to reconciliations, liquidity, sanctions screening (OFAC), AML, and fraud signals/decisioning.
