• 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.
• The ideal candidate brings strong experience testing end-to-end financial system services, including REST APIs, event-driven workflows, external integrations, and data integrations.
• They should be able to design tests that validate non-functional requirements as part of automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.
• They should demonstrate critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to translate business, control, technical, and non-functional requirements into clear, executable test cases.
• They 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.
• This 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.

• Design and execute functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and non-functional (NFR) test plans across multi-step financial workflows and state transitions.
• Validate complex financial computations, reconcile data across transactional and analytical layers, and write SQL queries against the system of record to verify correctness and consistency.
• Translate SOX, internal-control, business, and technical requirements into executable test cases in partnership with developers, accounting, and control stakeholders.
• Test maker-checker workflows, role-based access boundaries, and segregation-of-duties controls, including negative cases, via API testing.
• Test event-driven workflows across services, validating message delivery, processing order, idempotency, and failure handling.
• Validate 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.
• Test inbound data from third‑party valuation/pricing systems and outbound payloads to systems of record for schema correctness, completeness, failure handling, and reconciliation.
• Produce audit-ready artifacts, including test plans, results narratives, and evidence packages, that stand alone during external‑auditor fieldwork without additional explanation.
• Track defects through their full lifecycle, from identification through resolution, ensuring traceability and closure.
• Design and maintain automated test suites, integrating repeatable test scenarios into CI/CD pipelines to validate functional and non-functional requirements on every release.
• Generate and manage test data.
• Review logs, query data, and troubleshoot issues across application, integration, and data layers.
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, release readiness reviews, and production support triage as needed.
• Help establish and improve QA processes, standards, and best practices.

• 3+ years of QA/test engineering experience supporting backend financial, fintech, or regulated systems.
• Proficiency in Python with hands‑on experience using pytest for test automation.
• Strong test automation skills with experience integrating tests…
