Job Description

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.
 
Requirements:
  • 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 into CI/CD pipelines (Playwright a plus)
  • Strong SQL skills for non-trivial data validation, reconciliation, and control testing
  • SOX or internal-controls testing experience, including segregation-of-duties, maker-checker workflows, and audit-reviewed evidence
  • Experience testing REST APIs (Postman, REST-assured, or similar)
  • Critical thinking and attention to detail, able to identify ambiguity, validate assumptions, and produce clear, complete, audit-ready documentation
  • Effective communicator who moves fluidly between engineering, business/control stakeholders, and audit-facing discussions
  • Experience with Java services and testing within Java-based microservice environments
  • Experience testing financial data for correctness, including calculations, reconciliations, balances, or valuation-related outputs
  • Experience validating immutable or append-only audit data
  • Experience with FastAPI backends and PostgreSQL systems of record
  • Experience working in financial services, fintech, accounting-adjacent systems, or other highly regulated environments
  • Knowledge of cloud services and deployment patterns in AWS
  • Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices
