Our team does not develop the core ledger systems ourselves - they are built and delivered by external suppliers. Your role is to set the test strategy, verify and regression test what our suppliers deliver, and make sure nothing goes live unless it meets our requirements. Since the systems involved are financial, precision and thoroughness really matter - you will be the last line of defence before a delivery is approved.\nThis is a newly established, hands-on position within a small team. In this initial phase, the role will not carry direct reports; instead, the focus will be on personally executing tests, developing the test strategy, and leading verification and regression testing efforts in close collaboration with the wider team.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine and own the overall test strategy for the Core Ledger domain, covering functional, regression, integration, and acceptance testing of supplier deliveries\n\nPersonally build and maintain test plans, test cases, and (where applicable) automated regression suites\n\nWork with the Head of Core Ledger IT, Core Ledger Specialists, and Product Manager to embed quality from requirements through to delivery approval\n\nVerify and regression test ledger transaction flows, balance calculations, and reconciliation logic delivered by suppliers\n\nDrive a quality mindset across requirements writing, ensuring testability is considered from the start\n\nInvestigate and triage defects, coordinating resolution with suppliers and internal stakeholders\n\nDefine and track quality metrics; report on test coverage, defect trends, and delivery readiness\n\nParticipate in go/no-go decisions for supplier deliveries based on quality criteria\n\nSupport internal teams with questions about test results, known issues, and quality status\n\nContribute to risk assessments for major platform changes or new product introductions\n\nQualifications and Experience\nDesired Skills\n5+ years in QA roles, with experience leading test strategy and acceptance testing for complex systems\n\nStrong experience with test automation tools and frameworks (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, RestAssured, Playwright or similar tooling)\n\nDeep knowledge of testing methodologies - functional, regression, integration, and acceptance testing\n\nExperience verifying and accepting deliveries from external suppliers or vendors\n\nSolid understanding of how to structure test plans and test cases against detailed requirements\n\nNice to Have\nExperience testing financial systems - ledgers, payment flows, reconciliation, or core banking\n\nKnowledge of performance and load testing tools (e.g. Gatling, k6, JMeter)\n\nExperience working with vendor or supplier delivery models\n\nExperience in a regulated financial or payments environment\n\nBehaviours\nQuality champion - passionate about getting things right, not just fast\n\nDetail-oriented and methodical, especially in high-stakes financial contexts\n\nStrong communicator who can articulate quality risks to both technical and business audiences\n\nProactive and self-driven - able to identify gaps and take initiative to address them independently\n\nCollaborative, working closely with a small team and external suppliers\n\nEducation\nBsc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. An ISTQB certification (or similar) is a plus.\nLanguages\nFluent English is required for this role. Fluent Swedish is not a hard requirement, but is desirable as Swedish is the language spoken locally in the team and will make day-to-day collaboration easier.\nWe Offer\nA key role in building and shaping a modern, cloud-native core ledger platform\n\nA collaborative, cross-functional team environment with short decision paths\n\nCompetitive salary and benefits package\n\nFlexible working arrangements with hybrid options\n\nOpportunities for professional development and continuous learning\n\nA chance to make a real impact in the fintech space across the Nordic market\n\nModern office in central Borås with a strong team culture","description_format":"text","description_chars":4063,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Swedish","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Flexible schedule","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T16:00:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.692,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":119,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/avarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/avarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T16:55:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22351,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":456048},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=456048"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Favarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Favarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Favarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/avarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Favarda-group-qa-lead-core-ledgers-4"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":512904}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"avardagroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":512904},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
