Full-time

Mastercard

Together with our customers, we’re helping build a sustainable economy where everyone can prosper. We support a wide range of digital payments choices, making transactions secure, simple, smart and accessible.

Title and Summary

Software Engineer II

Overview
The Virtual Card Management (VCM) team is part of the Commercial Transaction Management & Controls (CTMC) program within Mastercard's Commercial & New Payment Flows (CNPF) organization — making payments smarter and businesses stronger by providing faster, more secure, and more efficient commercial payment experiences globally.
VCM is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of virtual and real card management, including authorization & clearing, spend controls, gateway & token management, event notifications, and multi-scheme virtual card capabilities. Our platform powers key products such as InControl (ICCP), Business Payment Controls (BPC, and Commercial Connect API — serving issuers, corporates, fintechs, and travel intermediaries worldwide.
We are looking for a Software Engineer II – Test Automation to join our Account Service team at Mastercard, working on tools and platforms that serve customers and developers globally. This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on designing, building, and maintaining high-quality automated test frameworks and pipelines. You will be embedded in a feature team, working closely with software engineers to integrate test automation directly into the development workflow and ensure reliable, production-ready releases.
Our platform is built around exposing RESTful endpoints, and the bulk of our testing work centers on validating interactions — CRUD operations, request/response contracts, status codes, error handling, and API behaviour across distributed services.
Role
We demonstrate 'Mastercard Way' cultural values every day — own it, simplify it, sense of urgency, thoughtful risk-taking, unlock potential, and be inclusive — with a relentless focus on our customers. As a Software Engineer II on the VCM team, you will:

You will take end-to-end ownership of testing for assigned features, with a strong emphasis on automation. For each feature, you will:
• Understand requirements and design an automation strategy early in the development cycle
• Build automated test coverage across API and integration layers before release
• Perform targeted manual and exploratory testing to validate edge cases and real user scenarios
• Identify defects, work directly with developers to clarify issues, and drive fixes
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery
The primary focus of this role is automation and strong senior technical skills with the Java and or Javascript languages are essential. Taking ownership of QA tasks, driving them to completion is also part of the core responsibilities of this role.

Responsibility
• Own test automation for assigned features as an embedded member of a feature team
• Design and implement automated tests using Java, REST Assured (API testing), Playwright (backend service testing), and Cucumber (BDD)
• Validate RESTful APIs across the full range of interactions — CRUD operations, response contracts, status codes, authentication flows, and error scenarios
• Build and maintain robust, scalable test frameworks that integrate seamlessly into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines
• Ensure new features are covered by reliable, maintainable automation before every release
• Monitor test stability, triage failures, and continuously improve test quality and pipeline performance
• Contribute to shared automation tooling and best practices across the team
• Perform exploratory and manual testing where needed to complement automation coverage

All About You
Education
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent.

Technical Qualifications
• 3+ years of experience in test automation or software engineering in test
• Strong Java and/or JavaScript skills applied in automation frameworks or tooling
• Hands-on experience with REST Assured for API testing
• Hands-on experience with Playwright for backend service testing
• Experience with Cucumber for BDD-style test design
• Solid understanding of Jenkins and CI/CD pipeline integration
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, methods, and CRUD-based architectures
• Experience testing distributed systems and microservices-style backends
• Ability to work closely and collaboratively with software engineers in a feature team setting
• A pragmatic approach — knowing when to automate and when to explore manually
• Practical knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and the ability to participate effectively in agile delivery processes.
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve routine issues through log analysis, problem reproduction, and application of documented solutions and security patches
• Familiarity with DevOps and CI/CD toolchains — understanding continuous integration, delivery, and deployment practices to support software flow and quality.
1. Exposure to cloud platforms and application design patterns for cloud-based environments.
• Understanding of secure coding standards and the ability to apply basic security best practices in day-to-day development.

Professional Skills
Business Acumen — ability to understand internal business operations and how technical work connects to customer and business outcomes.
Strong collaboration and communication skills — works effectively with team members and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver quality outcomes
Proactive approach to documentation, knowledge sharing, and process improvement
Eagerness to learn, adapt to new technologies, and grow within the Software Engineering discipline Corporate Security Responsibility

All activities involving access to Mastercard assets, information, and networks comes with an inherent risk to the organization and, therefore, it is expected that every person working for, or on behalf of, Mastercard is responsible for information security and must:

  • Abide by Mastercard’s security policies and practices;

  • Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information being accessed;

  • Report any suspected information security violation or breach, and

  • Complete all periodic mandatory security trainings in accordance with Mastercard’s guidelines.
