Middle Manual QA Offline

We are developing a payment orchestrator — a technology platform that connects multiple payment providers through a single API. This allows merchants to integrate just once and gain access to a wide range of payment solutions, including crypto, fiat, local, and international payment methods, without the need for separate integrations with each provider.

Must have:

- 2–4 years in manual testing with a significant share of API testing (Postman/Apidog/curl).

- Confident SQL; solid HTTP/REST/JSON, tokens and request signatures.

- Experience with asynchronous processes — you know why "200 OK" doesn't mean "payment completed".

- Test design (boundaries, negative cases) and the ability to build a checklist without a spec for every button.

- High-quality bug reports; Jira/Confluence; basic Git.

- English sufficient for provider documentation.

Nice to have:

- Test automation (Python/PHP/JS, Playwright/Cypress, GitLab CI) — we have less than we'd like; you can build it from scratch with developer mentorship.

- Fintech background (issuing/acquiring, gateways, 3DS), crypto understanding (transactions, confirmations, stablecoins).

- kubectl at "check pod logs" level, RabbitMQ UI, Grafana/Sentry, provider mocks/emulators.
