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. Key Responsibilities • 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. Qualifications • 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. Added Bonus • 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.
