Job Tile: Senior Tester / QA – Financial Services

Location: New York City, NY

Type: Fulltime


About Client:

Our customer is looking for a Senior QA engineer who loves testing and setting up use cases. The development environment involves programming and TDD and BDD methodologies with a heavy emphasis on acceptance testing. You should be strong on automated regression testing and have the mindset for “testing in live”


Job Description:

You will work within an agile team to help define the story and test requirements, pair with other testers and developers to produce Acceptance and Integration Tests using their in-house DSL and use your testing and domain knowledge to combine automated, exploratory, and technical testing, enabling the team to deliver completed stories with minimal technical debt.


Stories can cover anything from core exchange functionality, through big data issues and performance to new portals to manage our business. The process from idea to implementation is fluid and will involve working with colleagues in different parts of the business to understand what they want and how they will use it, whiteboard sessions, digging into code, databases, and existing Acceptance Tests to understand behaviour and coming up with new and interesting ways to test, and break, the system.


They follow TDD and BDD methodologies to create automated regression tests and if you are going to test something more than once then automate it – this can mean anything: migrations, databases, invariants, performance, tools, integrations, logging, releases; we have more than the average types of tests. You will have input to all this and hopefully help them to discover more test types along the way. All this automation allows you the time to carry out exploratory testing and try out new ideas to improve the way they develop software. They work together at a sustainable pace and spend the time on those areas that need it, leaving everything in a better state than we found it.


Testing does not stop at release time; with extensive monitoring and “testing in live” you can analyse data from new features for unexpected behaviour or performance and with regular stints as part of the production support pair you will get to assist and understand the business from the front and gain a different perspective.


The test team works across the whole of the business. To avoid accumulating knowledge silos, they actively rotate testers around their teams, ensuring that everyone gains first-hand knowledge on all areas of their testing and codebase and gets to work on a wide variety of projects, such as:


  • Testing low-latency trading systems
  • Testing cryptocurrency integrations
  • Testing the platform’s security and resilience


What they are looking for:

With excellent communication skills you have an enthusiastic approach to testing and a passion to continually improve the testing processes. In your previous roles you will have questioned the norms of testing methods and processes and pushed back when it was needed.


Experience of testing web and back-end platforms with strong technical and exploratory testing skills would be useful but they can teach that, however, you must bring problem-solving skills, enthusiasm, the ability to understand complex abstract concepts and be happy learning our set of technologies.


Their Values

Working collaboratively: They work in a very social and collaborative environment, even while remote. Working as a team and with colleagues from across the business, allows multiple ideas to combine into stronger designs and better solutions. Pair programming ensures high quality code, supports knowledge growth and sharing of expertise. With many eyes contributing to any code before it goes into production, you will rarely find a traditional code review at there.


Test driven: They rely heavily on test driven development and automation. They gain rapid feedback and confidence from 35,000 end-to-end tests running every half an hour. There are also extensive unit, compatibility, migration, and resilience tests. They care a lot more about software performance than many other organizations. They have a range of continuous performance tests designed to catch any regression before it reaches production, from targeted micro-benchmarks to end-to-end replays of production traffic.


Dedicated to quality: They care a lot about quality; like to dig deep into the codebase and leave things better than they found them - more readable, better modelled, more performant, more consistent. There is a permanent expectation of delivering high quality, maintainable code, and minimizing technical debt.


You won’t be stressed about deadlines and pressured to cut corners just to get things done quickly. As a team we enjoy building software and seeing that software used, and although they want to deliver things in a timely manner, they always strive to write things properly and cleanly the first time.


Always improving: They regularly examine their successes and failures to look at how they can improve both as a team and individually. Alongside regular internal training sessions, they have a generous budget supporting attendance at conferences or training courses and they set aside Friday afternoons as a time for developers to pursue an interest or learn something.


Tech Stack:

  • Backend: distributed, event-driven core Java (90% of the code base), MySQL
  • Frontend: JavaScript, Vue.js
  • OS: Linux (CentOS)
  • Testing is mostly via in house tools, written in Java using JUnit, Selenium, Jenkins
