• Apply a solid understanding of microservices architecture, with preference given to those with payments, banking, or fintech experience.
• Communicate in English fluently; French language skills are considered an advantage.
• Possession of ISTQB certification is a plus.

• Modern Development Practices: Demonstrated familiarity with version control (Git), containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), and scripting languages (Python and Shell scripting). Java programming experience is highly valued.
• Agile and Quality-Focused: You excel in dynamic Agile teams, advocating for robust integration testing, consistent automation, and efficient defect tracking. ISTQB certification is considered a significant advantage, reflecting your commitment to the highest testing standards.
• Business Domain Awareness: Prior experience in payments, banking, or fintech is desirable, as it enables deeper understanding of business-critical requirements and regulatory challenges.
