Job Title

About time.moneyWe're a SEBI-registered investment advisory platform helping retail investors win financially through disciplined, long-term wealth building. Our approach combines behavioural insights with technology—think AI-powered conversations, goal-based planning, and a unified wealth dashboard. We're bootstrapped, growing, and building for a large market with high visibility.The RoleYou'll be our first QA hire, building the entire test automation infrastructure from the ground up. You'll report directly to the Co-founder & CTO and own everything—from setting up the testing framework to CI/CD pipelines to ensuring every release is rock solid. This isn't a /"run someone else's test suite/" role. You'll architect how we test, what we test, and how fast we can ship with confidence.We're a fintech platform handling sensitive financial data, complex payment flows, OTPs, KYC verification, and third-party integrations. Things break in interesting ways. Your job is to catch them before users do.What You'll DoBuild test infrastructure from scratch — There's no existing framework. You'll set up the entire test automation architecture using Playwright and TypeScript—modular, reusable, and built to scale as the product grows.Own CI/CD for testing — Set up and maintain GitHub Actions pipelines. Tests should run on every PR, every deploy. Developers should know within minutes if they broke something.Test complex fintech workflows — Payment flows, OTP handling, KYC verification, webhook callbacks, third-party API integrations. These aren't simple CRUD flows—you'll need to think through edge cases that involve timing, retries, and external dependencies.Cover APIs end-to-end — Test internal APIs and external third-party integrations. Validate JSON responses against schemas. Ensure contracts don't break silently.Handle secrets properly — Work with AWS Secrets Manager for test credentials. Security isn't optional when you're dealing with financial data.Test across platforms and browsers — Web on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave. Desktop on Windows, Linux, MacOS. Tablet browsers on Android and iOS. You'll ensure consistency across all of them.Make tests independent and parallelizable — Each module, each API, each browser, each platform should be testable independently. No flaky interdependencies.Work alongside engineering — You're not a gatekeeper. You're part of the team. Catch issues early, give fast feedback, and help developers ship with confidence.Test existing features and new ones — There's coverage to catch up on, and new features shipping regularly. You'll balance both.What We're Looking For3-5 years of experience in QA — With at least 2-3 years focused on test automation. You've built and maintained test suites, not just executed manual test cases.Strong Playwright and TypeScript skills — This is non-negotiable. You should be comfortable writing clean, modular test code that other engineers can read and extend.Fintech experience is mandatory — You've tested financial products before. You understand payment flows, transaction states, reconciliation edge cases, and why a ₹0.01 discrepancy matters.API testing expertise — REST APIs, JSON schema validation, handling authentication tokens, testing third-party integrations. You've done this at depth.Experience with complex async flows — OTPs, webhooks, callbacks, polling for status changes. You know how to test things that don't return immediately.CI/CD setup experience — You've configured GitHub Actions (or similar) for automated test runs. You understand pipeline triggers, parallelization, and reporting.Cross-browser and cross-platform testing — You've dealt with the pain of browser inconsistencies and platform-specific bugs.Security-conscious mindset — You're handling test credentials, PII, and financial data. You know how to manage secrets and won't hardcode passwords in test files.Self-directed problem solver — You're the first QA hire. There's no senior QA to ask. You'll need to figure things out, make decisions, and own the outcomes.Nice to HaveExperience with AWS services (Secrets Manager, Lambda, S3, AppConfig, SQS, API Gateway)Tablet browser testing on Android and iOSPerformance or load testing experienceFamiliarity with contract testing (Pact or similar)Experience testing webhook integrations with tools like ngrokContributions to testing frameworks or open-source test toolingWhat We OfferCompetitive salaryHealth, accident, and life insuranceAccess to paid AI toolsFlexible startup culture with real opportunities to learn and grow quicklyHigh-impact work on a product built for millionsDirect exposure to fintech infrastructure, security practices, and complex system designDetailsLocation: Indiranagar, Bengaluru (in-office, no remote)Work Hours: 10 AM – 7 PMNotice Period: Immediate to 30 days preferredStart: ASAPApply via LinkedIn Easy Apply.
