This is a hands-on engineering role: most of your time is spent writing test code with modern automation frameworks and running it in CI/CD pipelines. You'll help prove that modernized and migrated applications behave the same as, or better than, the legacy systems they replace. You'll use AI coding tools to speed up writing and maintaining tests.\nKey responsibilities\nEnd-to-end UI test automation\nDesign and build a scalable UI automation framework using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver or WebdriverIO, with the Page Object Model or Screenplay pattern, fixtures and reusable helpers.\nWrite automated end-to-end tests for ReactJS applications that cover critical user journeys in trade processing, reconciliation, settlement and operations.\nTest real-time features delivered over WebSockets and Server-Sent Events, such as live updates, reconnection and message ordering.\nMake tests reliable and fast: stable locators, smart waits, parallel execution (e.g. Selenium Grid or cloud grids like BrowserStack/Sauce Labs) and fixing flaky tests.\nCover cross-browser, accessibility (axe-core) and visual regression testing (Applitools, Percy or Playwright snapshots) where it adds value.\nBehaviour-driven and component testing\nWrite BDD scenarios with Cucumber (Java or JS) or SpecFlow-style tools, so business analysts and subject-matter experts can read and confirm test coverage.\nSupport component-level testing with React Testing Library, Vitest/Jest or Cypress Component Testing, working with developers.\nAPI, contract and integration testing\nAutomate REST API tests using REST Assured, Karate, Postman/Newman or Playwright API testing.\nWrite consumer-driven contract tests with Pact, and validate against OpenAPI specifications.\nTest event-driven integrations (Kafka/MQ) by publishing test messages and checking downstream results, using tools such as Testcontainers.\nUse mock servers and service virtualisation (WireMock, MockServer) to test components independently.\nMigration and data validation\nBuild automated comparison tests that check outputs from legacy and modernized systems match during parallel runs (reports, files, database results).\nValidate batch and end-of-day processing results, and support reconciliation with data engineers.\nManage test data, including masking and creating realistic financial test data sets.\nPerformance testing\nBuild and run load and performance tests with k6, JMeter or Gatling to confirm modernized services meet or beat current response times and batch windows.\nCI/CD and reporting\nRun test suites in Harness, GitHub Actions or Jenkins pipelines as quality gates on every build and deployment.\nRun tests in containers and on cloud test infrastructure for speed and scale.\nPublish clear test reports, traces and dashboards (Allure, ExtentReports or framework-native reports) for engineers and release managers.\nAI-assisted testing\nUse GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and/or Devin to generate test cases, page objects and test data, and to analyse failures.\nUse AI to draft test scenarios from requirements and from legacy application behaviour, then review them with business analysts.\nReview all AI-generated tests carefully for real coverage and meaningful checks, not just passing tests.\nCollaboration\nWork with developers, business analysts and subject-matter experts to agree acceptance criteria and test coverage.\nTake part in code reviews and promote testable design and shift-left practices.\nSupport cutover rehearsals, release testing and early-life support.\nRequired experience and skills\n5+ years in test automation or software engineering in test.\nUI automation: strong hands-on experience with at least one of Playwright, Cypress, Selenium WebDriver or WebdriverIO, and working knowledge of at least one other.\nProgramming: strong coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript and/or Java; tests are treated as production code.\nAPI testing: experience automating REST API tests with REST Assured, Karate, Postman/Newman or similar.\n BDD: experience writing and maintaining Cucumber (or similar) scenarios.\nWeb testing: solid understanding of modern ReactJS applications, the DOM, browser dev tools and network inspection.\n CI/CD: running automated tests in pipelines (Harness, GitHub Actions or Jenkins).\n SQL: ability to write queries to set up and check test data.\nGit, Docker and agile delivery.\nRegular use of AI coding assistants in professional work.\nPreferred\nExperience with several UI frameworks and migrating test suites between them (e.g. Selenium to Playwright).\nContract testing with Pact and service virtualisation with WireMock.\nPerformance testing with k6, JMeter or Gatling.\nExperience testing WebSocket, SSE, Kafka/MQ or batch processing.\nTesting migration or modernization programmes, including parallel runs and data reconciliation.\nExperience in financial services, ideally trading, settlement, collateral or accounting.\nISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer or equivalent certification.\nSuccess measures (first 12 months)\nA standard automation framework and patterns adopted across all modernization teams, with critical user journeys automated.\nUI, API and contract test suites running as quality gates in CI/CD for every application in scope.\nLow flaky-test rate and fast feedback times, measured against an agreed target.\nAutomated parallel-run comparisons supporting cutover sign-off.\nFewer defects escaping to UAT and production, compared with a baseline.\nAbout State Street\nAcross the globe, institutional investors rely on us to help them manage risk, respond to challenges, and drive performance and profitability.
