About the role

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a highly motivated QA Engineer who takes end-to-end ownership of quality—from early requirement validation through testing, defect resolution, and final delivery. This role goes beyond executing test cases; you will play a key role in enhancing overall product quality, expanding test coverage, and driving automation initiatives to improve long-term efficiency.

In this position, you will collaborate closely with Product to understand and define end-to-end client workflows, ensuring comprehensive validation for complex Wealth workflows that span multiple systems and integration, and with a focus on strengthening automation coverage.

The ideal candidate is analytical, curious, and eager to continuously learn. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, proactively identifying defects and concerns, and clearly communicating findings with confidence. You take initiative, think beyond the obvious paths, and are capable of effectively demonstrating completed functionality and quality outcomes to stakeholders.

Across the globe, institutional investors rely on us to help them manage risk, respond to challenges, and drive performance and profitability.

In your role you will strive for cutting-edge solutions, that are straightforward and scalable. You will help us build resilience and execute day to day deliverables at our best.
