- Validate end-to-end post-trade workflows, including trade settlement, positions and cash, corporate actions, options lifecycle (exercise, assignment, expiration), margin, asset transfers (ACATS), and cost basis/tax lots
- Design and automate reconciliation tests between DriveWealth systems and clearing/custodian platforms, validating positions, balances, and transactions. Validate downstream outputs such as trade confirmations, statements, and regulatory reports (e.g., CAT/FINRA)
- Create test plans, scenarios, and regression suites for financial systems, including migration and parallel-run validation
- Build and maintain CI/CD test pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Performance Testing experience

- Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Operations, and Compliance teams on testing strategy and quality improvements

- Working knowledge of post-trade concepts: settlement cycles, corporate actions, margin, options lifecycle, and books-and-records requirements
- Experience with AWS, Git, and Jenkins
- Familiarity with JIRA and test management tools (Allure TestOps)

Special Knowledge (Nice to Have, But Not Required)
