Senior QA Engineer role on an agile team at Mama Money, a fintech remittance company based in Cape Town with 131 people. The role covers test strategy, test documentation, back-end and API testing, SQL, and driving test automation with JavaScript scripting.
Who we are:
Mama Money is a growth stage fintech startup working to help migrant workers in South Africa send money home. Since 2015 we have been providing reliable remittances, at a socially fair price, to those that need it most. Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.
We are 131 people strong (and counting) from 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. Our culture is built around the
well-being of our team members
and making a difference
in our communities
. âJust be lekker!â personifies our approach to work: we trust the wisdom of our
talented and diverse team
to do what is best for our customers and get the job done responsibly, without pedantic policies.
Weâve been around since 2015 and have earned
a few accolades
along the way, made some
new friends,
and
expanded our reach
. We've had some
great times
and some tough times, but we continue to focus on helping people rather than maximizing
profit.
Weâre seeking a Senior QA Engineer to champion a quality-first approach within our agile development team. In this role, youâll be deeply involved throughout the entire software development life cycle, helping to ensure our products meet the highest standards.
How you will be working at Mama:
When a new feature is introduced by the product owner and architect during refinement, youâll help ensure the team fully understands the requirements and system architecture. Using a testerâs critical mindset, youâll question assumptions, uncover edge cases, and identify areas to improve testability, while forming an initial test strategy.
Once planning begins under the tech leadâs guidance, youâll formalise this strategy into a document covering test scenarios, key integration points (API, app, queues, etc.), test data, and result verification.
As development progresses, youâll deploy and configure updates in the QA environment, execute test cases, identify and investigate bugs, and log them with clear reproduction steps.
After development, youâll verify the complete solution and sign off for production. Youâll also drive automation efforts, both for new and existing features, working with the QE Lead, maintaining test suites, and serving as the teamâs automation expert.
