QA Automation Manager - FinTech

An exciting opportunity has opened for a QA Automation Manager to join a rapidly growing Payments FinTech. We are looking for a hands-on automation expert with the technical expertise and leadership skills to manage and develop a team of Automation Engineers across the payments platforms.

You will:

  • Own the API-focused automation strategy.
  • Lead a team of 6x QA engineers.
  • Extend frameworks using REST Assured, Postman/Newman and internal tooling.
  • Build contract-testing, data-driven and performance-testing frameworks.
  • Embed automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Establish engineering standards through reviews, pairing and mentoring.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
