Dev In Test - Leading Hedge Fund

Dev In Test - World Leading Hedge Fund - Up to £170k + Bonus

One of the world’s top-performing hedge funds is hiring a Dev in Test to help build and certify the infrastructure that enables billions of dollars in trading activity.

This is not a traditional QA role. You won’t be maintaining test scripts or running regression packs. Instead, you’ll design test frameworks, build automation tooling, and leverage AI to identify issues before they reach production.

The responsibility is significant: without this team’s sign-off, the firm doesn’t trade.

Working alongside developers, quants, and infrastructure engineers, you’ll own production readiness across a complex, business-critical environment. You’ll build solutions from the ground up, enhance CI/CD pipelines, run large-scale validation and performance testing, and help shape the future of AI-driven testing.

The environment is heavily Kubernetes-based, spanning Azure, Windows, and Linux platforms. However, the culture is tool-agnostic - if there’s a better way to solve a problem, you’ll be trusted to implement it.

We’re looking for engineers who build test frameworks rather than simply use them people who enjoy solving complex problems, taking ownership, and operating in high-performance environments where quality truly matters.

This is a fully office-based role, working alongside people who take pride in what they build. The firm is renown for hiring best in class technologist and some of the brightest minds in their fields candidates will need a strong technical academic background here.

If you have experience building test frameworks, working within CI/CD environments, and using Kubernetes, coupled with a genuine interest in applying AI to test automation, we’d love to hear from you.
