They are insistent on working at the sharp edge of technology and will be bringing in 10-15 new tech hires over the next quarter.

Your new role
This is an amazing opportunity and the ideal time to be getting involved at a Fintech company where software is a profit maker, not a cost. The VP of Dev does not compromise on equipment and tools to ensure they are ahead of the game.

You'll be joining a Scrum team of 8-10 people as they enter their next phase of expansion due to additional project work and strategic ambition from their new CEO. You'll work on supporting and testing their enterprise cloud-based platform which is a real differentiator in the market. The roles are Senior and will all entail a strong element of hands-on.

The mandate to scale is clear, but only with the right people. You'll be joining a really high-level team in a flat structure where your voice will be heard. Software QA Engineers here are involved in the full testing lifecycle.

What you'll need to succeed
You must have 5 years+ commercial experience in Software QA working in a product-oriented organisation.
You will have worked on the development or testing of web applications using REST API's and SQL Queries. The Development stack you've progressed from is agnostic (.Net / Java etc) but you must have experience with MS TFS, Jira, Confluence, TeamCity and GitLab.

An Agile mindset is absolutely crucial, with the ability to understand the requirements and translate them into acceptance criteria i.e. to be a contributor in the development and testing process rather expecting the list of test cases to go through.

You'll have deep knowledge of creating automated tests within framework, and capturing their output via JSON. Knowledge of Postman and Swagger is a bonus.

We are looking for Financial Services domain knowledge, or an interest and ability to understand this sector quickly.
