Software Development Engineer in Test II | Quality Engineering

Zeta builds core banking and card processing software that banks run their card programmes on, with more than 25 million cards live across seven countries and a stack that includes a cloud native banking core, an authentication platform and a credit line product built on UPI. This is a test engineering role on that platform: you write the feature test plans, turn them into automated suites, keep the frameworks healthy and feed defects back to the developers before a release reaches a bank. It is a genuine automation job rather than manual scripting, and the domain is money movement, so correctness matters more than speed. Good fit if you have two to four years in QA automation and want the payments domain on your CV.

Zeta asks for 2 to 4 years of proven experience as a test engineer with substantial exposure to quality assurance and automation testing. The day to day: writing feature test plans from requirements, defining the test strategy and methodology for a feature, building detailed test cases, automating and running them with adequate coverage, analysing results and feeding defects back to developers, and building and maintaining the automated suites themselves so they stay reliable and fast. You are expected to work directly with the development team to prioritise and confirm issues, report on software quality regularly, and look for process improvements inside the QA function. Location is Hyderabad and the posting is tagged Full time under the Engineering team. Domain context worth knowing before you apply: Zeta is a banking technology company backed by SoftBank Vision Fund and Mastercard, valued at 2 billion dollars in 2025, with roughly 1,700 staff across India, the US, EMEA and Asia. Its products include Tachyon (cloud native banking stack), Cipher (authentication), Elena (conversational AI for banking), and Pixel, the credit card built with HDFC Bank. Testing here means testing regulated financial systems, so expect scrutiny on edge cases, compliance and audit trails rather than pure UI work. This is one of the lowest experience bars on the board today, so it suits someone with a couple of years of automation experience who wants to move into fintech.
