Senior QA Engineer

LemFi (Series B) is building the go-to financial app for the Global South.

Moving to a new country shouldn’t mean starting from zero. That's why our team of 400+ spanning 20+ countries is building a financial ecosystem that helps immigrants stay connected to home, build stability, and create wealth regardless of where they are from or where they live.

What began as fast, affordable remittances is now evolving into a complete platform for multi-currency accounts, payments, credit, and long-term financial growth.

With over 2 million users across the globe, we process over $1.5B in monthly transactions to 30+ countries, proving that borders shouldn't limit financial opportunity.

• Improve Pipelines: Participate in code reviews, CI/CD enhancements, and continuous test execution.

• Use AI Tools: Leverage GPT/Gemini APIs for automation workflows, data generation, and test analysis.

• Evolve QA Practices: Contribute ideas to elevate QA infrastructure and strengthen automation as an engineering discipline.

Who You Are

• Quality-Driven: You care deeply about building reliable systems and ensuring confidence in releases.

• Technically Curious: You enjoy understanding systems end-to-end and solving challenging engineering problems.

• Collaborative: You work effectively with developers, product managers, and cross-functional partners.

• Structured & Detail-Oriented: You think clearly, document well, and test thoroughly.

• Proactive: You take ownership and continuously look for ways to improve quality and automation.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions and test reporting tools like Allure.

• Strong background in QA with a focus on automation, ideally using Java.

• Solid understanding of REST APIs, backend testing, and mobile testing (Appium experience is a plus).

• Knowledge of OOP, dependency injection (e.g., Guice or Spring), and test design patterns.

• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and approach testing with an engineering mindset.

• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
