QA Automation (Trading Systems)

We believe the power of risk-driven investing can help anyone achieve a better life. And we’re here to make this potential a reality for an emerging global generation.

We provide individuals in the world’s fast-developing economies with guidance, tools, and easy market access so they can trade and invest with confidence. We aim to make our clients their own wealth manager: empowered to create investment strategies and make investment decisions effortlessly, in their own time, on their own terms, in their own way.

Our story goes back to the first days of online Forex trading - a pioneer of the Metatrader platform, Alpari, expanded rapidly in the world’s emerging markets and was joined in 2011 by our sister brand, FXTM. Now, we are adding further brands to our portfolio. Together, both brands have built a leading global presence in online trading serving over two million clients in 150 countries from regulated centres across four continents.

Exinity is an energetic and diverse company with offices across Europe, Asia and Africa, and we’re always looking for talented individuals to join us. ‘Freedom to Succeed’ is not just a promise we make to our clients and partners, but to our people too. We’ll help you develop a range of skills, take on early responsibility, and enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling career with a fast-growing, dynamic company.
