I lead QA and delivery for complex banking and tax compliance platforms.
What I'm looking for
At CINIMEX, I've progressed from QA Engineer to Team Lead and Project Manager while delivering banking and financial technology projects for Moscow Credit Bank, GAZ, AVTOVAZ, VTB, RSHB, RNKB, and Renaissance Broker.
I manage VK Tax Compliance and Tax Monitoring implementations, leading QA teams of 5+ engineers and coordinating development, analytics, vendors, and client stakeholders. I've supported production launches and ongoing post-production enhancements for mission-critical compliance solutions.
My hands-on QA work covers functional, integration, regression, exploratory, end-to-end, API, and database testing across integration-heavy microservices systems. I prepare PMI, coordinate PSI, validate REST and messaging integrations, and investigate defects with delivery teams.
I also plan resources, estimate delivery timelines, prioritize work, run coordination activities, and provide functional and technical consultations to clients. I'm open to international opportunities and relocation.
