QA Engineer-II specializing in high-scale fintech payments testing and defect prevention.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer-II with 7+ years of expertise in quality engineering for high-scale fintech and payments systems. I’m known for preventing production failures by catching 50+ critical payment defects pre-release.
I manage large, release-ready quality coverage—maintaining 1,200+ test cases and 350+ regression scenarios across multiple product areas. I drive QA process ownership, test strategy, and quality culture with cross-functional engineering teams.
I build modern QA workflows, including AI-assisted testing with ChatGPT and Claude AI—automating 100+ test cases and reducing test creation effort by 65% and POT verification effort by 95%. I also develop and maintain 55+ automated regression scripts using Reflect Automation and perform API validation with Postman.
In my recent role, I owned end-to-end QA strategy as the sole QA across two product teams, leading sprint releases and QA sign-off while closing scenario gaps with developers and product designers. I also delivered end-to-end QA for expense management workflows, including DOA and invoice approval.
