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

Experience with AWS, Git, and Jenkins

Familiarity with JIRA and test management tools (Allure TestOps)

Special Knowledge (Nice to Have, But Not Required)

Working at DriveWealth

We do our best work when we're in the same room. To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York, Chicago, and Lithuania teams work in office on a hybrid schedule.
