Job summary

IntelliPro seeks a Quality Engineer for a contracted engagement in Plano, TX, with hybrid work (onsite Wednesdays). You will test end-to-end financial services, validate REST APIs and data flows, and ensure SOX controls and audit readiness across CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities include designing test plans, writing SQL validations, producing audit-ready evidence, and collaborating with engineering, accounting, and control stakeholders to maintain quality across multi-step financial workflows.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of QA/test engineering experience supporting backend financial, fintech, or regulated systems
• Proficiency in Python with hands-on experience using pytest for test automation
• Strong test automation skills with experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (Playwright a plus)
• Strong SQL skills for non-trivial data validation, reconciliation, and control testing
• SOX or internal-controls testing experience, including segregation-of-duties, maker-checker workflows, and audit-reviewed evidence
• Experience testing REST APIs (Postman, REST-assured, or similar)
• Critical thinking and attention to detail, able to identify ambiguity, validate assumptions, and produce clear, complete, audit-ready documentation
• Effective communicator who moves fluidly between engineering, business/control stakeholders, and audit-facing discussions

Responsibilities

• Design and execute functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and non-functional (NFR) test plans across multi-step financial workflows and state transitions
• Validate complex financial computations, reconcile data across transactional and analytical layers, and write SQL queries against the system of record to verify correctness and consistency
• Translate SOX, internal-control, business, and technical requirements into executable test cases in partnership with developers, accounting, and control stakeholders
• Test maker-checker workflows, role-based access boundaries, and segregation-of-duties controls, including negative cases, via API testing
• Test event-driven workflows across services, validating message delivery, processing order, idempotency, and failure handling
• Validate that audit events are generated for every controlled state change (UI, batch, API), captured with accurate content and timestamps in an append-only, immutable evidence store
• Test inbound data from third-party valuation/pricing systems and outbound payloads to systems of record for schema correctness, completeness, failure handling, and reconciliation
• Produce audit-ready artifacts, including test plans, results narratives, and evidence packages, that stand alone during external-auditor fieldwork without additional explanation
• Track defects through their full lifecycle, from identification through resolution, ensuring traceability and closure
• Design and maintain automated test suites, integrating repeatable test scenarios into CI/CD pipelines to validate functional and non-functional requirements on every release
• Generate and manage test data
• Review logs, query data, and troubleshoot issues across application, integration, and data layers
• Participate in sprint ceremonies, release readiness reviews, and production support triage as needed
• Help establish and improve QA processes, standards, and best practices.
