Overview

A stealth fintech team needs a QA engineer to test a product built on Web3 rails, from wallet connections through exchange integrations. You will split your time between manual passes and automated suites across web and mobile, with a daily regression sweep as a standing duty. MetaMask, WalletConnect, and transaction signing sit at the center of the work, alongside smart contract verification. Findings land in Linear with repro steps tight enough for an engineer to act on. The engagement is freelance, remote from Europe, with partners spread across the US and India.

What You'll Do8

  • Design test cases for web and mobile builds, then execute them across Chrome, Safari, and a range of device types.
  • Own the recurring regression cycle, sweeping core flows each day and surfacing drift before it reaches release.
  • Verify wallet connections through MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and WalletConnect, covering transaction signing and the boundary between on-chain and off-chain state.
  • Test smart contracts and exchange integrations end to end, following connect flows comparable to Coinbase.
  • Stand up and maintain test accounts, credentials, and staging environments as the product changes.
  • Write and maintain automated tests in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python.
  • File bugs in Linear or Jira with crisp repro steps and supporting evidence, then track each one to closure.
  • Coordinate with engineers and QA peers working across US, Europe, and India time zones.

Requirements9

  • 3 to 5 years in QA or quality engineering, with hands-on manual and automated testing.
  • Track record testing web and mobile apps across browsers and devices.
  • Strong test-case design, execution, and regression discipline, including ownership of recurring sweeps.
  • Working knowledge of Web3 flows: wallet connections, transaction signing, and on-chain versus off-chain behavior.
  • Direct experience testing smart contracts and wallets.
  • Experience testing third-party exchange (CEX) integrations end to end.
  • Comfort provisioning test accounts, credentials, and environments.
  • Scripting at a working level in TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python.
  • Clear written English and ease collaborating across US, Europe, and India time zones.

Preferred Qualifications6

  • Playwright or Cypress hands-on, writing and maintaining suites rather than only running them
  • Test runs wired into CI/CD via GitHub Actions or CircleCI
  • Work with testnets or mocked Web3 providers
  • AI dev tools such as Copilot, Cursor, or Claude for drafting tests
  • Blockchain explorers for confirming on-chain state
  • Prior experience at an early-stage startup

Who Should Apply

A QA engineer with 3 to 5 years behind them who has tested wallets, smart contracts, and exchange connect flows, not just web forms. The role suits someone who writes their own automation in TypeScript or JavaScript and keeps regression coverage tight. Sharp bug write-ups and comfort across US, Europe, and India hours matter here.

Salary Insight

$36.00 per hour on a freelance engagement. For contract QA automation work that carries Web3 and smart contract testing requirements, that rate lines up with a mid-level engineer holding 3 to 5 years of experience.
