Job description

The Role

GoCharting is a web-native charting and trading workflow platform with institutional-grade orderflow and DOM tools — footprint/cluster charts, volume/market profile, cumulative delta, imbalance charts, DOM trading. We are the only platform that delivers these capabilities fully on the web. Comparable to TradingView for general charting, but differentiated as the leader in the professional orderflow niche. PE-acquired and funded in 2025, profitable, 3M+ registered traders globally, with a mandate to scale 10x over 4 years.

What you'll do

• Build and own the test automation framework and strategy — across the terminal, product monorepo, charting SDK, and backend APIs, from scratch
• Automate the hard stuff — real-time / WebSocket flows, canvas and visualization-heavy UIs, and market-data correctness checks on prices, bars, and symbols
• Own end-to-end, integration, and API / contract test automation — and build suites that are fast and genuinely non-flaky
• Wire tests into CI/CD — fast feedback, gating on merges and releases, and clear, actionable failure signals
• Build data-accuracy and feed-reliability regression harnesses — the automated safety net around our single biggest risk
• Set standards and enable the team — patterns, tooling, and a culture where engineers write and trust their tests
• Measure and drive quality signals — coverage, stability, and flakiness — and keep the suite honest

What we're looking for

Must-haves:

• 5–8 years in QA automation or SDET, having built and owned automation frameworks from scratch
• Deep with modern automation tooling — Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium for web, plus API/contract testing (REST and WebSocket)
• CI/CD integration experience — GitHub Actions or similar, with release gating and fast feedback
• Experience automating complex, stateful, real-time or data-dense web applications
• Own it and run from day one — high autonomy, comfortable defining strategy in a lean team working directly with the CTO
• In-person in our Chennai office

Nice-to-haves:

• Trading, fintech, or market-data domain — testing correctness of prices, ticks, OHLC, and order book data
• Performance and load testing (k6, JMeter) for real-time / WebSocket systems
• Testing canvas / D3 / WebGL or other visualization-heavy frontends
• Contract testing and mocking for third-party broker and exchange integrations
• Monorepo test tooling (Nx) at scale
• Familiarity with Indian (NSE/MCX/SEBI) or US (CME) market structure
• Top-tier Indian institution (IIT/NIT/IIM) — nice-to-have, not a gate
