Software Engineer II
Software Engineer II - Test Automation/Java
We are looking for a Software Engineer - Test Automation (Java) with 3+ years of experience to join the Developer Experience team, responsible for the Mastercard Developers portal and related tools used by developers globally.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on building and maintaining high-quality automated tests and frameworks. You will work closely with software engineers to embed test automation directly into the development workflow and ensure reliable, production-ready releases.

- Identify defects and work directly with developers to clarify issues and drive fixes
- Once the feature stabilizes, design and implement automated tests to ensure long-term reliability
The balance between manual testing and automation is typically around 50/50, but may vary depending on the feature, its complexity, and delivery phase.
WHAT WILL YOU DO
- Own testing for assigned features as part of a feature team
- Perform manual and exploratory testing, identify defects, and work directly with developers on fixes
- Design and implement automated tests in Java (API, UI, integration)
- Ensure new features are covered by reliable automation before release
- Maintain and improve test stability and CI/CD integration
WHAT YOU BRING
- Experience in test automation or software engineering in test
- Very good Java skills used in automation or tooling
- Experience testing APIs, UI, and distributed systems
- Ability to combine manual testing and automation effectively
- Experience collaborating closely with developers in feature teams
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern delivery practices
