Working within agile teams and following CI/CD practices, you'll implement secure testing practices including SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning in collaboration with SecOps. You'll plan and execute UAT cycles for new features, upgrades, and bug fixes across Global Payments, partnering with developers, QA, and Ops to improve testability and workflows. You'll deliver clear UAT results and reports for project leads and stakeholders, while logging, tracking, and resolving issues quickly to keep delivery on track.

FDM offers a supportive environment and clear development path to help you grow your technical and professional skills.
