QA Engineer - Securitization Technology
Role summary
We are seeking a founding QA Engineer to establish and lead quality assurance for a new securitisation technology platform. This role involves defining test strategies, building automation infrastructure, and embedding quality throughout the development lifecycle. You will validate complex financial data and logic, partner with cross-functional teams, and leverage modern QA methodologies, including AI-assisted tools. The ideal candidate has 3-7 years of QA experience, preferably in financial services, with strong SQL skills and proficiency in test automation frameworks. Familiarity with securitisation or structured finance products is a significant asset. This is an opportunity to shape the QA culture and processes from the ground up.
The Opportunity
We are building something from the ground up — and we need the right person to help shape it. As a
founding member of a newly established QA team
within a growing securitisation technology practice, you won't be stepping into a pre-built function. You'll own quality from day one: defining standards, building test infrastructure, and establishing the QA culture for a team that will scale around you.
If you thrive in environments where your judgment shapes how quality is defined — not just measured — this role is built for you.
What You'll Do
- Design and own comprehensive test strategies for a securitisation technology platform, covering functional, regression, integration, and performance testing
- Validate data accuracy, calculation logic, and reporting outputs for securitised and structured finance products
- Build and maintain automated test suites, contributing to the long-term automation infrastructure of the QTS team
- Partner closely with developers, business analysts, and product owners to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle
- Contribute to — and help establish — QA processes, standards, and best practices for a team being built from the ground up
- Leverage AI-assisted testing tools and modern QA methodologies to drive efficiency and coverage
- Communicate test findings, risks, and quality metrics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What You Bring
Experience & Domain
- 3–7 years of QA experience, with a strong preference for financial services, capital markets, or structured finance environments
- Familiarity with securitisation, fixed income, or structured finance products is a
significant asset
— you don't need to be a quant, but you should be comfortable learning the domain deeply
- Demonstrated ability to work in fast-moving, high-stakes financial technology environments
Technical Skills
- Proficiency with test automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Pytest, Cypress or equivalent)
- Strong SQL skills for data validation, backend verification, and test data management
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
- Exposure to AI-assisted testing tools or a genuine curiosity about applying AI to QA workflows
Leadership & Soft Skills
- A natural collaborator who can influence without authority and build relationships across development, product, and business teams
- Clear, confident communicator — able to translate complex quality findings into plain language for senior stakeholders
- Self-directed and ownership-oriented: you see gaps and fill them without being asked
- Mentorship instinct — someone who raises the quality bar for those around them, not just the product
