• Validate order flow, market data, interface behaviour and integration outcomes across applicable protocols such as FIX, ITCH, OUCH, APIs, messages and data feeds.
• Prepare test data, check environment dependencies and support execution readiness across Linux/Unix and integrated test environments.
• Investigate automation failures, defects, environment issues and data discrepancies using logs, pipeline output, database queries, messages and technical evidence.
