GenSoft

A Banking & Financial Services client is building a new digital platform, and the Automation QA environment is being created from scratch. 

You will join a QA team of 5–7 engineers, and grow into a fully modern automation stack — Cypress, REST Assured, contract testing, AWS-native CI/CD.

This is a strong role for an automation engineer who already writes solid tests and wants to see how a QA environment is designed properly, from day one, on a regulated banking program.

Engagement: 5–6 months with a strong possibility of extension. 

Start: ASAP. 

Format: mostly remote, with occasional on-site presence in Germany for kickoff and workshops.

What you will do

• Write and maintain automated tests in Cypress (UI / E2E) and REST Assured (API).
• Cover API and Integration scenarios; contribute to Contract Testing suites under the guidance of Senior engineers.
• Run and stabilize test suites in CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and on BrowserStack.
• Prepare test data, including synthetic data sets.
• Analyze failures, investigate root causes, and report defects clearly in Jira.
• Contribute to test coverage and quality reporting.
• Participate in code reviews and grow under the mentorship of the QA Architect and Senior engineers.
•  

Requirements

• 3+ years in QA, with at least ~2 years of hands-on test automation.
• Practical experience with Cypress (or a comparable JS/TS E2E framework with willingness to switch).
• API testing experience; familiarity with REST Assured or readiness to pick it up quickly.
• Understanding of automation fundamentals: page objects / component patterns, test isolation, flakiness control.
• Experience in Banking / Financial Services or another regulated domain.
• Comfortable working with Git, CI pipelines, Jira and Confluence.

• Basic understanding of AWS and cloud-native applications.

   

Nice to have

• Exposure to Contract Testing.
• Familiarity with Java (Spring Boot) or Angular codebases.
• Experience with BrowserStack or similar.
• Experience with synthetic / masked test data

Mandatory (please read before applying)

• You must be based in Germany (residence + right to work / valid B2B contracting status).
• Fluent German (C1+) is mandatory — it is the primary working language with the client.
• Professional English (B2+) for technical documentation and the extended team.
• Applications that do not meet these three criteria cannot be considered.

A Banking & Financial Services client is launching a new digital platform, and the Automation QA environment is being built from scratch. You are joining at day zero: no legacy framework, no accumulated technical debt — you help design and build the automation layer that the whole program will rely on.

You will work in a QA team of 5–7 people, embedded with Product and Engineering.

Engagement: 5–6 months with a strong possibility of extension. 

Start: ASAP. 

Format: mostly remote, with occasional on-site presence in Germany for kickoff and workshops.

What you will do

• Build the automation framework together with the QA Architect — Cypress for UI/E2E, REST Assured for API.
• Design and implement API, Integration, Contract and End-to-End test suites.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline) as reliable quality gates.
• Set up and maintain cross-browser/device execution via BrowserStack.
• Contribute to test coverage models, quality metrics and reporting.
• Prepare and manage test data, including synthetic data where production-like data cannot be used.
• Review code from Mid-level engineers and help raise the technical bar of the team.
• Work directly with developers on testability, contracts and defect root-cause analysis.

Requirements

• 5+ years in QA with a strong focus on test automation.
• Strong Banking / Financial Services experience and comfort working in regulated environments.
• Hands-on, production-grade experience with Cypress and REST Assured.
• Solid API Testing and Contract Testing experience.
• Experience with End-to-End and Integration testing on distributed systems.
• BrowserStack or an equivalent device/browser cloud.
• Good understanding of the surrounding stack:
  • Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Node.js
  • Frontend: Angular
  • Mobile: Flutter
  • Cloud: AWS (Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, Aurora, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS)
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CDK
  • Tools: Jira, Confluence, SonarQube
• Experience contributing to a framework/environment built from scratch is a strong advantage.

Nice to have

• Synthetic test data generation and masking approaches.
• Databricks / data platform testing exposure.
• Performance testing or contract testing tooling (e.g. Pact) in depth.
• Mentoring experience.

Mandatory (please read before applying)

• You must be based in Germany (residence + right to work / valid B2B contracting status).
• Fluent German (C1+) is mandatory — it is the primary working language with the client.
• Professional English (B2+) for technical documentation and the extended team.
• Applications that do not meet these three criteria cannot be considered.

Our client is a Banking & Financial Services organization building a new digital platform. The Automation QA environment is a greenfield — nothing exists yet. You will be the person who defines how quality is engineered on this program: the strategy, the architecture, the frameworks, the metrics.

You will lead a team of 4–6 Automation QA Engineers (Senior and Mid-level) and act as the main QA counterpart for Product and Engineering leadership.

Engagement: 5–6 months with a strong possibility of extension. 

Start: ASAP. 

Format: mostly remote, with occasional on-site presence in Germany for kickoff and workshops.

What you will do

• Define the QA strategy and test automation architecture from scratch.
• Design the automation framework, repository structure, and QA processes (branching, review, gating, release criteria).
• Establish quality metrics, reporting and test coverage models, and make them visible to stakeholders.
• Build out the automation layers: API, Integration, Contract and End-to-End testing.
• Own the CI/CD quality gates together with the platform team.
• Coach and mentor Senior and Mid-level automation engineers; run code reviews and set engineering standards.

• Work closely with Product, Engineering and other QA teams; represent QA in architecture discussions.

   

Requirements

• 6+ years in QA, with strong hands-on automation background and experience in an architect / lead role.
• Proven experience building greenfield Automation QA environments from scratch — not just maintaining existing ones.
• Strong Banking / Financial Services background and experience in regulated environments (audit trails, compliance, controlled release processes).
• Hands-on with Cypress and REST Assured.
• Solid experience with Contract Testing, API Testing, and end-to-end automation.
• BrowserStack or equivalent cross-browser/device cloud.
• Comfortable in the client's technology environment:
  • Backend: Java (Spring Boot), Node.js
  • Frontend: Angular
  • Mobile: Flutter
  • Cloud: AWS (Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, Aurora, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS)
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CDK
  • Data Platform: Databricks
  • Tools: Jira, Confluence, SonarQube
• Experience defining quality metrics and reporting for non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience with synthetic test data generation and management (strong plus in a banking context).
• Performance and security testing exposure.
• Experience in a consulting / client-facing setup.

Mandatory (please read before applying)

• You must be based in Germany (residence + right to work / valid B2B contracting status).
• Fluent German (C1+) is mandatory — it is the primary working language with the client.
