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.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to ensure the quality and reliability of our cross-border payment solutions. You will work closely with development teams to test both our mobile applications (iOS/Android) and backend APIs through a mix of manual and automated testing.
This is a hands-on role with significant technical breadth. You will improve automated coverage, validate new features, and help maintain confidence in releases across a complex financial ecosystem with deep integrations and high demands for performance and accuracy.
How You’ll Contribute
Develop Automated Tests: Design, implement, and maintain automated tests for backend APIs, mobile apps, and integrations.
Build Maintainable Frameworks: Create modular test components within our Java/Cucumber/Rest Assured/Appium/Guice stack.
Partner with Engineering: Collaborate with developers and product teams to ensure clear acceptance criteria and testability.
Validate Complex Integrations: Work with mock services, partner APIs, and distributed systems to verify behaviour and data flows.
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.
