I’m looking for a hands-on QA Tester with a payments / fintech background to join on an initial 3-month contract, working directly with the CTO and external consultants.

You must be comfortable going beyond surface-level testing — diving into APIs, databases and logs, and tracing issues end-to-end.

Fintech or payments experience is essential.

If you’re London or able to work 1 day per month in the office and available, apply now.
