Automation QA Engineer (Go / Java)

About the role

FinteqHub, a PCI DSS certified payment gateway for online businesses, is hiring an Automation QA Engineer (Go / Java) for its Backoffice team. The role covers integration test coverage and reliability across Backoffice services, supporting stable releases and the transition from Java-based testing to Go. It suits mid-level and senior professionals.

Key responsibilities

• Help shape the testing strategy and coverage for Backoffice services, including which checks stay in Go, which remain in Java, how tests run and how results are reported.
• Develop and maintain Go integration tests using real infrastructure dependencies and the team's test harness.
• Migrate selected test scenarios from Java to Go within the service repositories, keeping relevant checks and removing obsolete ones.
• Integrate tests into existing CI pipelines, investigate failures and fix or retire flaky tests.
• Maintain the remaining Java tests until they are migrated or removed.
• Work with Backoffice engineers to improve service testability while following existing patterns and reporting standards.

Required profile

• Solid hands-on experience with Go, including maintainable tests and reusable helpers, not one-off scripts.
• Ability to judge when unit, integration or end-to-end testing is needed.
• Experience testing HTTP APIs, including clients, contracts and behavioural assertions.
• Experience running automated tests in CI, investigating failures through logs and data, and owning testing end to end.
• Ability to read Java code, maintain existing tests and migrate them to Go.
• B1 English or higher; native Russian.

• Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, testcontainers and GitHub Actions
• Integration testing with real dependencies (databases, caches, message brokers)
• Nice to have: TestNG, Maven, ReportPortal, OpenFeign, Kafka clients, etcd, testcontainers-go, UI automation with Playwright, and experience migrating test suites between languages or frameworks
