Test Analyst – Remote-First

🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays In today’s digital Europe, payments still feel too complicated. Random delays, confusing rules, extra apps and accounts make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.

The European Payments Initiative is changing that with Wero, a proudly European digital wallet to make payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with your money and data protected under European laws and regulations.

Wero is live in Belgium, France and Germany and launching very soon in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Backed by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we’re building a brand new, proudly European payment system. Why not join us?

🔎 What's in it for you

Play a key role in onboarding and certifying banks, acquirers, and payment service providers across Europe onto the Wero network. Working at the crossroads of API testing, end-to-end certification, and partner engagement, you will collaborate closely with external stakeholders to ensure seamless integrations. This is a unique opportunity to join a remote-first, high-impact environment where you directly contribute to the quality, interoperability, and reliability of Europe's next-generation payments infrastructure.

You’ll work closely with external member banks, acquirers, PSPs and test tooling partners, as well as internal Product, Payment Experience, Infrastructure and Operations teams. This is a collaborative role for someone who enjoys combining structured testing, technical investigation and clear partner communication.
