🏢 About Craft Silicon
Craft Silicon is a financial-technology company focused on digital banking, core banking and fintech solutions. Its product portfolio includes Core Banking, Open API platforms, omnichannel banking, wallet enablement, analytics and Shariah banking solutions. The company states that its technology is trusted by 350+ financial institutions worldwide across Africa and Asia-Pacific.
This makes the role particularly relevant for testers who want to build long-term experience in financial software, banking workflows and mission-critical applications, rather than working exclusively on generic web products.
Craft Silicon’s current careers archive also lists Software Test Engineer responsibilities involving functional-requirement walkthroughs, test-case preparation, development demos, change-request testing, defect discussions, client UAT, production support and handover.
📌 What You’ll Work On
The position requires strong Manual Testing experience across web and mobile applications. Your responsibilities can involve:
- Functional, regression, integration, system and UAT testing
- Preparing detailed test scenarios, test cases and test data
- Understanding requirements and identifying gaps before development/testing
- API validation using Postman
- SQL and database validation
- Defect reporting, tracking and retesting using JIRA
- Collaborating with developers, Business Analysts and other stakeholders
- Supporting UAT and production-related activities
- Validating fixes and ensuring regression coverage
- Working throughout the SDLC/STLC
💼 Why This Role Is Good for Your Experience
This position can be particularly valuable for a QA professional who wants to establish a stronger BFSI testing profile. Banking applications require accuracy, reliability and thorough validation because defects can directly affect financial transactions, customer information and business operations.
You can gain exposure to complete testing cycles—from requirements and test design to UAT, defect management, production validation and handover. Craft Silicon’s own Software Test Engineer description reflects this broader lifecycle exposure.
For professionals planning to move toward Senior QA, QA Lead, BFSI Test Analyst or Automation QA, experience with financial applications, API testing and database validation can make your resume considerably stronger.
🎯 Expected Craft Silicon Interview Rounds
- Round 1 – HR/Recruiter Screening: Experience, BFSI background, Ahmedabad availability, notice period and compensation.
- Round 2 – QA Technical Interview: Manual testing concepts, STLC/SDLC, test scenarios, regression, integration, system and UAT testing.
- Round 3 – BFSI/API/SQL Discussion: Banking workflows, Postman/API validation, SQL queries, database testing and real-world defect scenarios.
- Round 4 – Project/Managerial Discussion: Your project responsibilities, production issues, stakeholder communication and problem-solving approach.
- Round 5 – HR/Salary Discussion: Final fit, joining timeline, compensation and documentation.
💰 Expected Salary Range
Public salary data for Craft Silicon shows Software Test Engineer compensation around ₹4–7.5 LPA, while Glassdoor’s reported Software Test Engineer data shows an overall base-pay range of approximately ₹3–6 LPA, with limited 4–6-year data around ₹5 LPA.
For this 3–6 year Ahmedabad position, a realistic expectation would be approximately ₹5–8 LPA, depending on BFSI depth, API/SQL expertise, current CTC and interview performance. This is an indicative market estimate, not an officially published Craft Silicon salary band.
🔥 Preparation Tips
1. Make BFSI your strongest area: Prepare banking workflows such as customer onboarding, account management, fund transfers, payment processing, transaction history, loan-related flows, interest calculations and transaction validation.
2. Practice requirement-to-test-case thinking: Take a banking requirement and explain how you would derive positive, negative, boundary, validation and integration scenarios.
3. Master Postman: Prepare GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, headers, authentication, status codes, JSON validation, request chaining and response assertions.
4. Strengthen SQL: Revise SELECT, JOINs, GROUP BY, subqueries, aggregate functions and queries used to verify transaction/database records.
5. Prepare UAT scenarios: Be ready to explain how you coordinate with Business Analysts, developers and business users during UAT.
6. Know defect lifecycle deeply: Be prepared for questions around severity vs priority, defect states, retesting, regression and root-cause discussions.
