Job description

Senior Java & Automation QA Engineer - Financial Post-Trade Systems - J13177

Our client is a well-established financial services organisation based in Hong Kong, supporting critical transaction processing and post-trade operations. The technology team operates with a focus on platform stability, continuous testing improvement, and structured software development standards.

The Role & Landscape:

You will join an engineering team responsible for building and maintaining core Java-based post-trade systems while actively building out automated testing infrastructure. Key deliverables include:

Developing RESTful microservices and backend components in Java and Spring Boot on Linux.

Participating in full SDLC activities, from requirements analysis and unit testing to integration testing and production implementation.

Managing CI/CD workflows and automated build pipelines via Git, GitLab, and Jenkins.

Investigating performance bottlenecks, resolving application bugs, and providing production support (including periodic shift/on-call rotation).

What We Are Looking For:

5+ years of hands-on application development experience using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and Linux databases.

Background in financial services or exposure to post-trade, settlement, or transaction systems is highly advantageous.

Degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related discipline. Candidates with slightly less experience will be considered for a System Analyst title.

Professional fluency in written and spoken English and Chinese.

Why Apply To This Role:

Engineered Balance: A hybrid role where you maintain real backend engineering ownership alongside automation design, rather than being siloed into pure manual testing or pure maintenance.

Domain Depth: Direct hands-on exposure to critical financial post-trade operations and clearing workflows.

Stability & Progression: Clear career progression path from System Analyst through Senior Systems Engineer within a structured enterprise environment.
