About the Role

DriveWealth is seeking a hands-on Senior QA Engineer to join our Quality Assurance team supporting post-trade platforms: clearing, custody, settlement, and the back-office systems that follow trade execution. This role is embedded within a product engineering team and focuses on scalable automation, high-quality releases, and stronger testing practices across the SDLC.
The ideal candidate has strong technical automation experience and prior exposure to post-trade processing, reconciliation, and margin products in a broker-dealer or clearing environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks using Java, Cucumber (BDD), and RestAssured

  • Build and execute automated tests across API, event/messaging (Kafka, queue-based integrations), and data layers, with UI coverage where applicable

  • 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

  • Analyze test results, troubleshoot defects, and improve test coverage

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

  • Participate in test reviews, bug triage, and production issue analysis

You Bring

  • 8+ years of QA experience in financial services, with direct exposure to post-trade, clearing, or back-office platforms

  • Strong hands-on programming in Java

  • Automation experience with Cucumber/BDD and RestAssured

  • Experience testing REST APIs and event-driven systems (Kafka; RabbitMQ or SQS a plus)

  • Strong SQL (Postgres) skills for data validation and reconciliation

  • 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)

  • Playwright and TypeScript for UI automation

  • Experience with a clearing system conversion or platform migration

  • Exposure to FIX protocol, crypto asset workflows, or data tools such as Databricks
