Front-End Engineering Consultant - Payments

About the RoleAs a QA Front‑End Developer, you will contribute code, automation, and quality strategy for React user interfaces that support regulated payment and transaction flows. You will design and implement behavior‑driven UI tests, validate accessibility and usability, and help define quality gates that enable safe and rapid delivery.You will act as a quality partner to frontend engineers, influencing component design, testability, and acceptance criteria while ensuring UI behavior Essential ResponsibilitiesFront‑End Development & Quality OwnershipContribute to the development and validation of React‑based user interfaces supporting payment and transaction workflows.Collaborate with frontend engineers to ensure components are testable, accessible, and resilient.Participate early in design and refinement discussions to shape clear acceptance criteria and quality expectations.Take ownership of UI quality outcomes, not just test execution.React Testing & AutomationDesign and implement behavior‑driven tests for React components using modern testing practices.Validate UI behavior across state changes, asynchronous rendering, and error conditions.Build and maintain automated UI tests using modern frameworks (e.g., React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress).Balance component, integration, and end‑to‑end coverage to maximize confidence while minimizing flakiness.API‑Aware & State‑Focused UI ValidationValidate frontend interactions with backend services by asserting API calls, payloads, and responses.Simulate backend behaviors such as errors, timeouts, retries, and partial failures within UI tests.Ensure UIs correctly handle edge cases such as duplicate submissions, stale state, and recovery scenarios.Support payment‑critical flows with a focus on correctness and idempotent user behavior.Accessibility & Inclusive Design ValidationIncorporate accessibility (a11y) validation into UI development and testing workflows.Validate semantic HTML, ARIA usage, keyboard navigation, and screen‑reader compatibility.Partner with design and engineering teams to prevent accessibility regressions.Ensure accessibility evidence is produced and maintained for regulated releases.Visual, Cross‑Browser & Responsive TestingValidate UI behavior across modern browsers and responsive breakpoints.Support visual regression testing for high‑risk, customer‑facing screens.Ensure consistent rendering, layout stability, and localization readiness.Balance visual coverage with stability and signal quality.CI/CD Integration & Quality GatesIntegrate UI tests into CI/CD pipelines with fast, reliable feedback loops.Contribute to quality gates that validate UI functionality, accessibility, and reliability before release.Identify, debug, and reduce flaky UI tests through root‑cause analysis.Support progressive delivery and controlled rollout strategies with frontend validation.Collaboration & Continuous ImprovementPartner with frontend engineers, product owners, and designers throughout the SDLC.Review UI changes with a quality, risk, and compliance‑aware lens.Promote best practices in frontend quality engineering and test design.Contribute to shared tooling, standards, and documentation across teams.Basic QualificationsBachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience.3+ years of experience in frontend development, QA, SDET, or Quality Engineering roles.Hands‑on experience working with modern JavaScript frameworks, preferably React.Experience working in agile and DevOps environments.Preferred Skills & ExperienceStrong experience with React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.Hands‑on experience with React Testing Library and behavior‑driven UI testing.Experience with Playwright, Cypress, or similar browser automation frameworks.Familiarity with API mocking or simulation for frontend testing.Experience integrating UI automation into CI/CD pipelines.Working knowledge of accessibility standards and automated a11y testing tools.Nice to HaveExperience with payment or transaction‑based user interfaces.Exposure to visual regression testing tools.Familiarity with frontend security considerations in regulated environments.Experience supporting AI‑assisted testing or automation workflows.Ability to coach developers on frontend testability and quality practices.Location ExpectationsThe role offers a hybrid/flexible schedule, with an in‑office expectation of 3 or more days per week and flexibility to work remotely on other daysPosting Date:Department:CONS: International Banking - 1460250021
