You will join the Quality Assurance team as a hands-on Senior QA Engineer supporting post-trade platforms: clearing, custody, settlement, and back-office systems. This role is embedded within a product engineering team and focuses on scalable automation, high-quality releases, and stronger testing practices across the software development lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks using Java, Cucumber (BDD), and RestAssured
- Build and execute automated tests across API, event/messaging (Kafka, queue-based integrations), and data layers, with UI coverage where applicable
- Validate end-to-end post-trade workflows including trade settlement, positions and cash, corporate actions, options lifecycle (exercise, assignment, expiration), margin, asset transfers (ACATS), and cost basis/tax lots
- Design and automate reconciliation tests between DriveWealth systems and clearing/custodian platforms, validating positions, balances, and transactions
- Validate downstream outputs such as trade confirmations, statements, and regulatory reports (e.g., CAT/FINRA)
- Create test plans, scenarios, and regression suites for financial systems, including migration and parallel-run validation
- Build and maintain CI/CD test pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Conduct performance testing
- Analyze test results, troubleshoot defects, and improve test coverage
- Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Operations, and Compliance teams on testing strategy and quality improvements
- Participate in test reviews, bug triage, and production issue analysis
The ideal candidate has strong technical automation experience and prior exposure to post-trade processing, reconciliation, and margin products in a broker-dealer or clearing environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of QA experience in financial services, with direct exposure to post-trade, clearing, or back-office platforms
- Strong hands-on programming in Java
- Automation experience with Cucumber/BDD and RestAssured
- Experience testing REST APIs and event-driven systems (Kafka; RabbitMQ or SQS a plus)
- Strong SQL (Postgres) skills for data validation and reconciliation
- Working knowledge of post-trade concepts: settlement cycles, corporate actions, margin, options lifecycle, and books-and-records requirements
- Experience with AWS, Git, and Jenkins
- Familiarity with JIRA and test management tools (Allure TestOps)
NICE TO HAVE:
- Playwright and TypeScript for UI automation
- Experience with a clearing system conversion or platform migration
- Exposure to FIX protocol, crypto asset workflows, or data tools such as Databricks
