As a Senior QA Test Engineer, you will join one of our agile product teams. Your primary objective will be to ensure end-to-end quality across the entire software delivery lifecycle, from early requirements refinement to production release and post-release validation. You will act as a quality engineer within the team, ensuring that functional correctness, integration quality, non-functional aspects, and business requirements are consistently met in complex, distributed system landscapes.

YOUR CHALLENGE

• Work as an embedded QA Test Engineer in an Agile team, owning end-to-end quality assurance for all team owned applications (e.g. Campaign Manager, FactSet, Fund Gallery, Scalable Advice Engine etc.)

• Drive all quality aspects across the software development lifecycle, from story refinement and design to testing, release, and post-release validation

• Design, execute, and maintain test cases to ensure full coverage of business requirements and acceptance criteria

• Ensure functional correctness through well-designed positive, negative, and exploratory test scenarios

• Create, manage, and validate test data across different environments

• Execute tests and document results in an audit-proof manner (e.g. logs, screenshots, traceability, comments)

• Validate system integrations using REST API testing, with a clear understanding of request/response flows, error handling, and data consistency

• Perform end-to-end testing across multiple systems, understanding dependencies between internal applications and external providers

• Use Git for version control of test scripts and collaborate on code changes with developers

• Conduct structured root cause analysis to distinguish between UI issues, integration defects, data issues, environment problems, or requirement gaps

• Collaborate closely with business users, stakeholders, and external vendors

• Clearly communicate test progress, coverage, risks, and quality status to the agile team, Test Manager, business stakeholders, and external providers

• Take ownership of Defect Management and quality follow-up until resolution

• Support the team in bug/defect triage, ensuring timely closure and regression coverage

• Contribute to non-functional testing strategies where applicable, including participation in performance evaluation and scalability checks.

YOUR PROFILE

• Proven experience working as a QA Test Engineer in Agile/Scrum teams (DevOps setup is a strong plus)

• Strong experience leading and supporting testing activities across an agile team, from development testing to acceptance testing

• Domain knowledge in banking or financial services is a strong advantage

• Strong experience in test case design (TCD) to ensure proper coverage of requirements and acceptance criteria

• Experience with risk-based testing and prioritisation in complex system landscapes

• Comfortable performing manual and exploratory testing

• Strong understanding of end-to-end business processes, system dependencies, and integration flows

• Experience testing web-based applications and backend services and working with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (Git).

• Hands-on experience with REST API testing

• Good knowledge of Jira; Xray knowledge is a plus

• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and proactively drive quality topics

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including structured root cause analysis

• High resilience and ability to work under changing priorities

• Experience collaborating with external vendors and service providers, including coordination of testing activities and defect follow-ups

• Experience working effectively within international, cross-functional teams, navigating cultural differences and distributed ways of working

• Excellent command of English (C1/C2); Spanish is a strong plus

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

• ISTQB Foundation Level certification is a plus
