QA Engineer

Required Skills and Experience

• Proven experience as a QA or Test Engineer, with strong manual testing skills (test design, execution, defect management and regression testing).
• Experience testing applications on HP NonStop (Tandem) systems.
• Experience testing software built with COBOL, SCOBOL, TAL, C, TACL and Enform, or the ability to read this code well enough to design effective tests. Developer-level coding is not required.
• Working knowledge of SQL/MP and SQLCI, and of SQL Server Management Studio.
• Experience testing MQ-based messaging flows.
• Familiarity with Zephyr Scale for test case management and reporting within Jira.
• Background in financial services, securities or payments applications.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and running automated tests as part of a build.
• Working knowledge of the software testing life cycle and defect life cycle in an Agile or hybrid delivery model.
• Hands-on experience with test automation, including web UI automation (Playwright preferred; comparable tools such as Selenium or Cypress are a plus).
• Ability to write and run SQL queries to validate data.
• Experience testing APIs and web services (REST/WebApi) with tools such as Postman, and working with XML and JSON data.
• Experience with Jira for defect and work tracking.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail.

Technology Stack and Tools

The project uses the technologies below. Testers need to be comfortable working with them, not building in them.
