Role Overview
The Test Automation Engineer will develop automated tests to support the organization, its projects, and initiatives. They will be instrumental in the transformation of testing within the organization into the agile world and will drive projects from a testing and quality assurance perspective for our client. This role focuses on building and maintaining the automated regression suite for core banking applications on Temenos T24/Transact, with immediate priorities around the R26 release upgrade program and the expansion of automated coverage across core banking, payments, and securities domains.
Test Automation Development
The engineer will develop and maintain automated test scripts using latest scripting techniques, report quality issues and defects, and manage the repository of automated regression tests. They will initiate test automation activities considering already set-up group structures and frameworks. Additionally, they will analyze, test, and evaluate user requirements, specifications, and models with regard to testability and automation feasibility. The engineer will adapt the test environment and automate test sets for T24/Transact-based applications and their interfaces, while also configuring, updating, maintaining, and deploying the test tools. Test execution and documentation will be carried out in accordance with specified test cases or in an exploratory manner.
Framework and Pipeline Management
The engineer will ensure automated tests are triggered via scheduled pipelines and results are consolidated and distributed to relevant stakeholders. They will support the integration of automated tests with JIRA/X-ray for traceability and reporting.
Collaboration and Training
Working closely with requirements engineers, developers and Test Managers is essential to convert documented test cases into automated scripts, providing feedback on documentation quality and automation readiness. The engineer will collaborate with requirements engineers and developers to understand application changes that impact existing automated tests and maintain regression stability. When needed, they will prepare and execute training sessions for the broader team. Support will also be provided to the test manager in estimating automation effort for new projects and upgrades.
Required Profile
Candidates must have at least 5 years of experience in BDD and automated testing, specifically using Selenium, Cucumber and Gherkin. Sound knowledge of Xray and Jira and their integration into an automated testing framework is required. Experience with selenium grid would be considered an asset. A deep understanding of CI/CD pipeline and its automation technologies like Jenkins and GitLab is essential, along with strong Java development skills and advanced Java concepts.
Manual testing experience is required, and experience in the banking domain is essential. Experience in either T24 or Triple A is considered an advantage, as is experience working on both agile and classical delivery models. Higher education in Computer Science (University, University of Applied Sciences, or equivalent diploma) is necessary, and ISTQB foundation certification is essential. Selenium certification is also required.
The ideal candidate will possess very strong communication and planning skills, with excellent English language abilities in both written and verbal forms. They must be a strong team player, customer oriented with a focus on supporting the organization in developing and providing solutions. A very good understanding of software lifecycle and its operational management is critical, along with a high level of self-motivation to drive initiatives and initiate changes. The candidate should demonstrate a willingness to bring in new ideas and initiate changes.
Experience with Temenos T24/Transact is strongly preferred. The engineer must be able to automate test scenarios that navigate T24 screens, interact with T24 versioning and workflows, and validate transactional outputs across banking modules. Experience automating end-to-end test scenarios across integrated banking systems is crucial, including interfaces between T24 and satellite applications such as payment platforms, regulatory reporting tools, and document management systems like Papyrus/FileNet. Familiarity with core banking product flows – including account lifecycle, payment processing (SWIFT, SEPA), securities processing, and trade finance operations – is important. The candidate should have experience supporting automated testing in the context of core banking release upgrades or platform migrations, and the ability to maintain and adapt automated tests as business processes, regulations, and system configurations change, ensuring long-term regression stability.
