At DTCC, we are at the forefront of innovation in the financial markets. We are committed to helping our employees grow and succeed. We believe that you have the skills and drive to make a real impact. We foster a thriving internal community and are committed to creating a workplace that looks like the world that we serve.\nThe Information Technology group delivers secure, reliable technology solutions that enable DTCC to be the trusted infrastructure of the global capital markets. The team delivers high-quality information through activities that include development of essential, building infrastructure capabilities to meet client needs and implementing data standards and governance.\nPay and Benefits:\nCompetitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive\nComprehensive health and life insurance and well-being benefits, based on location\nPension / Retirement benefits\nPaid Time Off and Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.\nDTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee).\nThe Impact You Will Have in This Role\nAs a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will play a critical role in modernizing Java-based, cloud-ready platforms that support DTCC’s financial risk management and daily settlement operations. You will be embedded within a business-aligned development squad and work at the center of DTCC’s multi-year enterprise modernization program (through 2028), contributing directly to the stability, resilience, and integrity of the clearing ecosystem.\nIn this role, you will design, build, and own engineering-grade test automation frameworks that ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of mission-critical systems. You will partner closely with software engineers, architects, product managers, and platform teams to embed quality throughout the SDLC, influence technical direction, and support the transition from legacy platforms to scalable, resilient, cloud-ready architectures.\nThis is a hands-on, code-driven role requiring strong Core Java programming skills and deep Selenium automation expertise. You will actively develop automation frameworks, write reusable Java components, and solve complex testing and system-stability challenges across UI, API, and backend layers. This is not a manual QA or scripting-only position-it is a technical leadership role focused on building scalable automation solutions and driving engineering excellence at enterprise scale.\nYour Primary Responsibilities:\nLead the strategy, design, and evolution of enterprise-grade test automation frameworks, seamlessly integrated into modern CI/CD pipelines \nChampion an “automation-first” quality engineering mindset, driving comprehensive test coverage across API, UI, integration, and end-to-end layers \nLeverage AI-driven testing capabilities (e.g., intelligent test generation, self-healing automation, test optimization, anomaly detection, and defect pattern analysis) to enhance efficiency, reliability, and coverage \nServe as a technical leader and mentor, accelerating adoption of automation and AI-driven practices across the quality engineering community\nDesign, build, and scale robust Java-based automation frameworks using tools such as Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and JUnit \nDevelop high-quality, reusable, and maintainable code (utilities, base classes, and shared components) using strong object-oriented principles \nImplement modern automation design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model) to ensure scalability, maintainability, and extensibility \nBuild automation solutions for UI, API, and backend systems, including database validation using JDBC/JPA and SQL \nDiagnose and resolve test issues by debugging, refactoring, and optimizing automation suites, addressing flakiness, synchronization, and locator strategies\nIntegrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Bitbucket) to enable continuous testing and rapid feedback loops \nActively contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and solution design, driving best practices in quality engineering \nPartner closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams in Agile environments to continuously improve product quality, delivery velocity, and overall engineering excellence.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.\n6-8+ years of experience in test automation, SDET, or quality engineering roles with a strong engineering focus.\nTalent Needed for Success\nStrong hands-on Core Java programming experience, demonstrated through automation framework development - not just test scripting.\nProven ability to apply Core Java concepts in real automation code, including:Object-Oriented Programming (inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation)\nJava Collections (List, Map, Set)\nException handling\nBasic concurrency / multithreading concepts\n\nDeep hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver, including:Writing and maintaining Page Objects\nEffective locator strategies (XPath, CSS)\nSynchronization and test stability best practices\n\nExperience completing hands-on Java and Selenium coding exercises, including live technical interviews.\nHands-on experience with TestNG and/or JUnit, Maven/Gradle, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.\nExperience with API testing using Rest Assured and SQL-based backend validation.\nStrong understanding of software testing methodologies and TDD/BDD principles.\nNice to Have Skills\nExposure to cloud environments and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). \nExperience with performance testing tools such as JMeter. \nExperience working in Agile / DevOps environments with continuous integration and delivery.\nThe salary range is indicative for roles at the same level within DTCC across all US locations.
