QA Engineer In Banking

We're an established IT services consulting firm, and we're looking for a mature Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer consultant to join a long-running program at a top-tier enterprise banking client in Estonia.

You'll step into a domain where quality is not a checkbox - it's what keeps critical customer-data platforms reliable around the clock.

This engagement is planned with delivery needs running through the end of 2026, and it's expected you'll work from the client's Tallinn office at least 3 days per week.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

You'll work in a team responsible for customer data governance, continuous data quality improvement, and customer data streaming that supports advanced analytics and offering calculations.

The teams deliver Master Data Management and Anti-Money Laundering / Know Your Customer information technology solutions in close cooperation with digital banking, data warehouse, and product areas. Your role is to help ensure these systems stay stable, integrated, and trustworthy - 24/7.

DO YOU HAVE (MUST-HAVE SKILLS)...

• 3+ years of hands-on testing experience in modern delivery environments.

• Strong practical knowledge of testing methodologies with real examples:

  • functional testing, integration testing, regression testing, performance testing, end-to-end testing.

• Proven ability to lead cross-area testing (think multiple components / multiple teams / shared integrations):

  • ownership of planning, coordinating, and executing complex testing activities,

  • ensuring end-to-end functionality across systems.

• Mentor/lead mindset (must-have):

  • you can guide other engineers in testing practices,

  • you're comfortable leading by example, coaching, and raising quality standards across a wider scope than just your own tasks.

• Strong analysis and risk thinking:

  • ability to analyze complex systems, identify quality risks, and propose mitigation strategies.

• Confident communication & coordination skills:

  • you collaborate smoothly with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Developers,

  • you can explain issues clearly and drive alignment on what "done" means.

• Experience working in Agile delivery and familiarity with Agile ways of working (Scrum / Kanban / SAFe).

• A relevant academic degree or equivalent IT work experience.

RELATED SKILLS...

The more of the following tech stack you understand and is fluent with, the more competitive you'll be to get the role and be successful in delivering:

Back end

• Java Standard Edition, Spring Framework, REST APIs, Oracle Database, Kafka, Docker

Development environment & tools

• Git, Gradle, IntelliJ IDEA

Front end

• HTML5, XSL, JavaScript, jQuery

Testing tooling

• JUnit, Mockito, Mocha, Selenium

ARE YOU WILLING TO...

• Own quality end-to-end, not just test cases - making sure applications stay operational and available 24/7.

• Lead cross-area test planning and execution when multiple systems need to "click" together.

• Work as a strong contributor in an Agile team, staying close to the product and engineering conversations.

• Mentor others - helping improve testing approaches, structure, and confidence across the team.

• Be onsite in Tallinn at least 3 days per week (you must already be in Estonia for this role).

WHY THIS PROJECT?

• Real responsibility and real impact: your work directly supports a critical risk-domain area where reliability and data quality matter.

• Complexity worth your seniority: cross-system integration, end-to-end flows, and quality ownership - not isolated testing in a corner.

• A runway through the end of 2026: a long-term engagement where you can actually raise the bar, mentor others, and see improvements stick.

• Consulting environment, grown-up expectations: you'll be trusted to lead, coordinate, and make quality visible - not just "execute tasks".
