Job Description

Description:

\tWhat we're looking for We are looking for someone who can work effectively across engineering leadership, business and financial stakeholders, technology subject-matter experts, and controls-focused teams. This person should be comfortable partnering with developers building the system, accounting and SOX stakeholders defining control requirements, and other teams involved in integrations, releases, and audit readiness.
\tThe ideal candidate brings strong experience testing end-to-end financial system services, including REST APIs, event-driven workflows, external integrations, and data integrations.
\tThey should be able to design tests that validate non-functional requirements as part of automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.
\tThey should demonstrate critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to translate business, control, technical, and non-functional requirements into clear, executable test cases.
\tThey should be documentation-minded, able to produce evidence that stands up to external audit, and comfortable moving between engineering conversations and SOX/internal-controls discussions.
\tThis role requires someone who can communicate clearly, ask thoughtful questions, identify gaps or ambiguity, and help ensure the software solution is correct, controlled, traceable, and audit ready.
\tWhat you'll be doing Design and execute functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and non-functional (NFR) test plans across multi-step financial workflows and state transitions
\tValidate complex financial computations, reconcile data across transactional and analytical layers, and write SQL queries against the system of record to verify correctness and consistency
\tTranslate SOX, internal-control, business, and technical requirements into executable test cases in partnership with developers, accounting, and control stakeholders
\tTest maker-checker workflows, role-based access boundaries, and segregation-of-duties controls, including negative cases, via API testing
\tTest event-driven workflows across services, validating message delivery, processing order, idempotency, and failure handling
\tValidate that audit events are generated for every controlled state change (UI, batch, API), captured with accurate content and timestamps in an append-only, immutable evidence store
\tTest inbound data from third-party valuation/pricing systems and outbound payloads to systems of record for schema correctness, completeness, failure handling, and reconciliation
\tProduce audit-ready artifacts, including test plans, results narratives, and evidence packages, that stand alone during external-auditor fieldwork without additional explanation
\tTrack defects through their full lifecycle, from identification through resolution, ensuring traceability and closure
\tDesign and maintain automated test suites, integrating repeatable test scenarios into CI/CD pipelines to validate functional and non-functional requirements on every release
\tGenerate and manage test data
\tReview logs, query data, and troubleshoot issues across application, integration, and data layers
\tParticipate in sprint ceremonies, release readiness reviews, and production support triage as needed
\tHelp establish and improve QA processes, standards, and best practices.
\t-Requirements:
\tWhat You'll Bring-3+ years of QA/test engineering experience supporting backend financial, fintech, or regulated systems
\t-Proficiency in Python with hands-on experience using pytest for test automation
\t-Strong test automation skills with experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (Playwright a plus)
\t-Strong SQL skills for non-trivial data validation, reconciliation, and control testing
\t-SOX or internal-controls testing experience, including segregation-of-duties, maker-checker workflows, and audit-reviewed evidence
\t-Experience testing REST APIs (Postman, REST-assured, or similar)
\t-Critical thinking and attention to detail, able to identify ambiguity, validate assumptions, and produce clear, complete, audit-ready documentation
\t-Effective communicator who moves fluidly between engineering, business/control stakeholders, and audit-facing discussions
\tAdded bonus if you have (Preferred):
\tInterview process: 2 rounds video interview.
\tOnsite interview for local candidate.Experience with JAVA services and testing within JAVA-based microservice environments
\tExperience testing financial data for correctness, including calculations, reconciliations, balances, or valuation-related outputs
\tExperience validating immutable or append-only audit data
\tExperience with FastAPI backends and PostgreSQL systems of record
\tExperience working in financial services, fintech, accounting-adjacent systems, or other highly regulated environments
\tKnowledge of cloud services and deployment patterns in AWS
\tFamiliarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices
