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

To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Disability insurance, and Paid Parental Leave, along with a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and observed holidays.
