Job Title: QA UAT Tester Must have payments experience** Job Description Seeking a hands-on UAT Tester with strong manual testing experience, ideally within payments. This role focuses on validating applications that support international payments, cross-currency transactions, and global branch operations. The ideal candidate is execution-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable working directly with business and technology teams to ensure high-quality releases. This is not a coordination or oversight role-this team needs someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, writing test scripts, executing test cases, and driving defects to closure. Responsibilities * Perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for applications supporting international payments, single-currency and cross-currency transactions, and global branch operations. * Develop, document, and execute manual test scripts based on business requirements and acceptance criteria. * Validate end-to-end payment workflows, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and system integrity. * Log, track, and manage defects using JIRA, collaborating with product owners, developers, and business SMEs. * Participate in requirement reviews, test planning sessions, and UAT readiness checkpoints. * Ensure test coverage aligns with business scenarios, regulatory expectations, and operational needs. * Provide clear, concise reporting on test progress, defects, and readiness for production deployment. * Work in a fast-paced environment where hands-on testing and strong follow-through are essential. Essential Skills * Proficiency in user acceptance testing. * Ability to communicate complex information to non-technical executives. * A minimum of 3 years of relevant enterprise experience. * 3-7+ years of experience in UAT or manual QA testing. * Strong experience testing payments, ideally including international payments or cross-currency workflows. * Proven ability to write detailed test scripts and execute manual test cases. * Hands-on experience with JIRA for test management and defect tracking. * Familiarity with QA processes, test methodologies, and defect lifecycle management. * Strong analytical skills with the ability to understand complex business rules and translate them into test scenarios. * Excellent communication skills and the confidence to ask questions, clarify requirements, and escalate issues. * Must be execution-focused-comfortable doing the testing work rather than leading or delegating. Additional Skills & Qualifications * Experience in large enterprise or financial environments (not required but helpful). * Exposure to payment rails, SWIFT, cross-border transactions, or settlement processes. * Understanding of UAT best practices in regulated industries. What Makes a Strong Candidate: * Hands-on tester who enjoys digging into the details. * Comfortable working with business partners and technology teams. * Strong ownership mindset-drives testing forward without waiting for direction. * Payments experience that allows them to quickly understand transaction flows and edge cases.
