Key Responsibilities

Provide at least three core duties of this role

Design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions for mainframe and distributed applications across functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end test layers.
Partner with developers, product owners, and architects to clarify requirements, identify quality risks early, and define testable acceptance criteria for complex brokerage and transaction-processing workflows.
Build and execute test strategies covering batch processing, online transactions, APIs, messaging flows, database validation, and file-based integrations between legacy and modern platforms.
Create and enhance reusable automation frameworks, test data strategies, and CI/CD quality gates to improve speed, consistency, and release confidence.
Validate high-volume processing, balances, positions, and transaction data using strong analytical and database validation techniques to ensure accuracy and operational resilience.
Support defect triage, root cause analysis, and production issue investigations by partnering with engineering and support teams to identify gaps and prevent recurrence.
Drive continuous improvement in test coverage, test reliability, environment readiness, observability, and reporting across Agile delivery teams.
Contribute as a hands-on technical team member who shares knowledge, promotes engineering best practices, and helps raise the overall quality bar across the organization.
