Requirements
- 5+ years of QA or test engineering experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or another regulated, API-driven environment.
- Strong grasp of QA process across all phases of the SDLC: test planning, test data setup, execution, defect management, and release sign-off.
- Strong test case design and exploratory testing instincts; comfortable reading API specs and testing REST/JSON APIs directly (e.g., Postman, cURL).
- Experience with BDD-style test scenario writing (Gherkin/Cucumber or similar).
- Comfortable writing and maintaining automated tests (e.g., Playwright, Selenium) for occasional ad hoc work and automation tech debt.
- Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language used for test automation (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript or Python).
- Working knowledge of SQL for data verification and familiarity with Git-based workflows (GitHub).
- Experience using Jira and Confluence, or equivalent tools, for test planning, tracking, and documentation.
- Experience with a test management or UAT tool (e.g., TestRail, Zephyr, or similar).
- Clear, detailed written communication: bug reports and test plans that others can act on without back-and-forth.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, switching between competing priorities and projects.
- Comfortable collaborating across time zones with a distributed engineering team.
Preferred
- Experience testing financial transaction flows: ledgers, settlement, reconciliation, or payments.
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit into them.
- Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment (sprint planning, backlog grooming).

The zerohash Culture
All zerohash employees are guided by the following characteristics and core principles:
- Independence/Ownership - An ability to work autonomously. Join zerohash, pitch ideas, and shape the work you do.
- Passion - We are innovating quickly and challenging the status quo. We want you to think big, be creative and make a difference every day.

- Initiative - An ability and passion for learning and asking questions. We will champion you, challenge you and push you to achieve your best - and we expect you to do the same.
- Empathy - An ability to listen, respect, and understand your co-workers, customers, and everyone you interact with no matter how different they are to you.
- Adaptability - An ability to respond quickly. We are in a fast-paced industry and so we expect you to be creative when solving a new problem and comfortable under pressure.
- Transparency - We believe that transparency is critical to empowering everyone to make the best decisions, both the company to its people and vice versa.
- Integrity - Integrity creates trust. As both an organization collectively and as individuals, it is our most valuable asset.
