Title: Software Quality Assurance

Location: Erbil

Available Until: 10/10/2026

 Key Responsibilities:

Foundation (first priority): the items below are the immediate build.

• Write test plans and test cases for FastPay services, derived from API contracts and the behaviour of the existing PHP services.
• Build the regression test suite, documented, repeatable cases covering wallet, payments, agent, merchant and bill-payment flows.
• Test REST APIs directly with Postman: request and response validation, status codes, error payloads, authentication headers.
• Establish the defect-reporting standard in Jira: reproduction steps, severity classification, environment, evidence.
• Set up and maintain test data on the staging environment.
• Define the release checklist, what must pass before any service is allowed into production.

Ongoing: the items below run continuously.

• Test every feature, service and bug fix on staging before it goes to production.
• Run full regression before each production release.
• Validate the iOS, Android and Huawei mobile apps against the APIs after each backend change, the apps must keep working unchanged throughout the migration.
• Verify the web portals and admin panel after each change.
• Triage defects and track them to verified closure with the developer who owns them.
• Produce the functional test evidence required to sign off each migration phase quality gate.
• Keep the test cases and regression suite current as the platform changes.
• Report quality status honestly: what was tested, what was not, and what the remaining risk is.

Requirements  - Technical (must-have)

• 2-4 years of software QA / testing experience on web or mobile products.
• Writing test plans and test cases from requirements or API documentation, structured and repeatable, not ad hoc clicking.
• Functional, regression, integration and user acceptance testing.
• API testing with Postman: collections, environments, response and status-code validation, auth tokens.
• Reading REST API contracts (OpenAPI / Swagger) and testing against them.
• Mobile application testing on iOS and Android, including on real devices.
• SQL: writing SELECT queries against MySQL to verify what the application actually wrote to the database.
• Defect management in Jira or equivalent: clear reproduction steps, correct severity, tracking to closure.
• Basic Linux command line, enough to read application logs on a staging server without asking someone else.

Domain (must-have)

• Has tested a system where a defect costs money, payments, banking, e-commerce, telecom billing or similar.
• Has held a release under pressure: able to say "this is not ready" and defend it with evidence.

General (must-have)

• Strong written English, test cases and bug reports are the primary output of this job.
• Works directly with developers: explains a defect precisely, without blame, and re-tests promptly.
• Takes ownership of a defect through to verified fix in production, not just to "reported".
