Responsibilities

A QA role focused on translating business requirements and functional analysis into structured, comprehensive test cases in the Front Office. The Calypso QA Analyst works closely with business analysts and functional leads to understand scope and system behavior, then builds the test case library that drives test execution. The role is execution-focused — the QA Analyst does not own the test strategy but is the key contributor to test case quality, coverage, and readiness across all Calypso test phases.

Test Case Development

Analyze business requirements, functional specifications, and scope documents produced by the business and functional analysts

Translate requirements into structured, detailed test cases covering functional scenarios, edge cases, and negative paths

Build test cases for the full Calypso trade lifecycle: booking, amendment (economic and non-economic), cancellation, termination, roll-over, fixings, and corporate actions
