Job Description:

Join a forward-thinking engineering team driving quality excellence across complex, high-value financial platforms. As a Java-focused Quality Engineer, you’ll go beyond conventional testing by designing intelligent, automated test strategies that safeguard the integrity of critical systems like SAP and Treasury. You’ll embed assurance deep into CI/CD pipelines, leveraging tools like Azure DevOps, Selenium, and REST-assured to validate everything from APIs to ledger workflows. Every sprint, you’ll play a hands-on role in shaping how quality is built, not bolted on, ensuring performance, compliance, and resilience standards stay flawless under real-world conditions.

Job Responsibility:

Designs and executes comprehensive test scenarios covering functional, integration, and regression testing across financial applications such as SAP and Treasury platforms. Ensures these reflect critical business logic including ledger integrity, FX handling, and compliance with SOX/IFRS standards
Works closely with developers, product owners, and analysts to refine testable user stories, ensuring acceptance criteria cover both functional and non-functional aspects, and proactively challenges ambiguity or inefficiencies in test scope
Builds and maintains robust test data and reusable artefacts for scenarios such as journal entries, GL reconciliation, and end-of-month processes, embedding these into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps to enable continuous testing
Drives root cause analysis of defects, champions risk-based test prioritisation, and identifies opportunities to replace manual testing with scalable automation to increase feedback speed and maintain sprint velocity
Actively participates in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives to advocate for early quality input, align on coverage expectations, and foster a quality-first culture that includes security, accessibility, and usability considerations

Requirements:

Holds ISTQB Foundation as a minimum
Advanced Test Analyst or equivalent certifications desirable

Familiar with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), with practical awareness of how they influence quality standards and assurance planning
Demonstrates solid understanding of automation and non-functional testing concepts, including performance, accessibility, and shift-left/shift-right practices
Experience working within Agile, DevOps, and product-aligned teams, contributing to sprint-based delivery and continuous integration testing strategies
Proficient in test tooling and CI/CD frameworks including Azure DevOps, Selenium, Cypress, Jenkins, Git, and test management platforms such as TestRail or Zephyr
Familiarity with AI/ML use cases in quality engineering, including AI-assisted test case generation, defect clustering, and predictive analytics
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain test scenarios, defects, and coverage to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Awareness of security, compliance, and resilience considerations such as OWASP Top 10, ISO 27001, GDPR, and DORA, with practical experience embedding these into quality practices
Understanding of the importance of data privacy, test data masking, and regulatory obligations. Has experience with data quality and synthetic data generation tools
Demonstrable experience in testing web-based and enterprise software applications developed in Java, JavaScript, or similar backend/frontend frameworks
Skilled in functional and integration testing of APIs, UI components, and service-based workflows, including RESTful interfaces and microservice architectures
Experience working with SaaS and PaaS environments, including deployment and validation in cloud platforms like Azure or AWS
Proficient in using test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, REST-assured, Postman) integrated with CI/CD pipelines such as Azure DevOps or Jenkins
Familiarity with ITSM-aligned QA practices and non-functional validation including accessibility, performance, and security testing across web applications
