Senior AQA Engineer (Fullstack)

FP Markets Group of Companies is a well-established multi-regulated broker, founded in Australia, offering traders access to CFD trading on Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks and Cryptocurrencies. We are growing and looking to recruit a Full-time Senior AQA Engineer (Fullstack) in the Cyprus office - a certified Great Place to Work®.

We are developing a social trading platform and are looking for a strong automation engineer who will build end-to-end test coverage across all product layers, with a primary focus on native mobile applications (iOS / Android) and web. This is a role with real autonomy — you will not be "just another QA in the team," but the person who defines quality standards and gradually builds a process where code physically cannot be pushed to production without passing tests.

Currently, there are no automated tests for the mobile applications at all — you will be responsible for building automation from scratch and establishing the surrounding processes.

Reporting to: QA Lead

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop a mobile automation framework from scratch for native iOS and Android applications

• Develop and maintain the backend automation framework (API testing)

• Cover critical social trading user scenarios: trade copying, deposits/withdrawals, trading account operations

• Extend test coverage at the web and API levels

• Integrate tests into CI/CD: execution on every commit, pipelines, reporting

• Establish pre-commit quality gates using Git hooks (husky / pre-commit) — mandatory test execution before code reaches the repository

• Execute tests on real devices, emulators/simulators, and cloud device farms

• Drive automation culture: introduce stabilization/automation iterations to prevent coverage degradation over time

Candidate profile:

Mobile

• Experience building mobile automation frameworks from scratch for iOS and Android

• Native drivers: XCUITest (iOS) and Espresso / UiAutomator2 (Android)

• Appium 2.x/3.x as a cross-platform tool for native / hybrid / mobile web

• Strong hands-on experience with Android Studio (ADB, emulators) and Xcode / Simulator

• Experience running tests on real devices and cloud farms (BrowserStack)

• Understanding of mobile app architecture, locator strategies, gestures, and testing under different network conditions

• Understanding that mobile tests are more logically maintained within the application repository rather than as a separate project in another language

Languages and Frameworks

• Strong Java skills (modern versions); solid understanding of OOP

• Kotlin and Swift knowledge is a plus

• Test runners and assertions: JUnit 5, test data generation with Instancio / JavaFaker

Web / API

• UI automation with Playwright (Java), Page Object Model, stable locators

• API automation: REST Assured, REST API and authorization handling

• Understanding of flaky tests and retry strategies

Data Handling

• Test data setup and cleanup

CI/CD and Processes

• Build management with Gradle, custom tasks for different test suites

• CI/CD: GitLab CI / Jenkins, integrating automated tests into pipelines

• Git hooks / husky / pre-commit as a quality gate

• Reporting: Allure

• Test management: Jira

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech / trading / payment products

• Experience using AI tools in testing (Copilot, AI assistants for test generation/analysis)

• Experience with Testcontainers

• Familiarity with App Store / Google Play guidelines

• A certified Great Place to Work®  reflecting our commitment to a positive culture, employee well-being, and support
