About Niural

Founded by repeat entrepreneurs with several successful exits, Niural is building an infrastructure that powers the global financial system. We are backed by iconic investors who invest in data, AI, fintech, and angels who have built the biggest companies in crypto today, such as Coinbase, Ring, and Pinterest.

Why Niural?

If you are a person who was drawn into tech through the promise of creating cutting-edge tools for a more exciting future, but find yourself tired of the fact that the world's smartest engineers are spending their lives optimizing how frequently we click on ads, this is your opportunity to change that.

We’re building a future that changes how companies participate in the new era of the internet and create truly global products as they participate in a digital economy. If you want to work with an aggressively ambitious team, build tools that will control billions of dollars, and participate in the asymmetric financial upside of creating foundational internet infrastructure, join us to shape the future of finance.

This is not a sole people or project management role, you will be expected to write code regularly. This is not a QA automation engineer role, you need to have adept programming skills to get through the interview and be successful in the role. We are looking for true Software engineers who like to break things.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of Manual Test, Automation, and Software Engineers in Test to test features exhaustively.

  • Clearly define test strategies for features, and implement those strategies across multiple features being worked concurrently.
  • Identify needed test cases during discovery and development and develop a test plan before release.
  • Evaluate features for risk, interior and exterior impact - what are the big problems, and how can we establish confidence during discovery and development
  • Develop and improvise on existing testing framework and test automation for developer and testing efficiency
