Ipro Networks Pte. Ltd.; Plano (TX); Hybrid; USD 69,000 - 76,000; Full time

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.

Position Overview:

• We are looking for someone who can work effectively across engineering leadership, business and financial stakeholders, technology subject-matter experts, and controls-focused teams.
• This person should be comfortable partnering with developers building the system, accounting and SOX stakeholders defining control requirements, and other teams involved in integrations, releases, and audit readiness.
• This role requires someone who can communicate clearly, ask thoughtful questions, identify gaps or ambiguity, and help ensure the software solution is correct, controlled, traceable, and audit ready.

What You'll Own & Deliver:

• The ideal candidate brings strong experience testing end-to-end financial system services, including REST APIs, event-driven workflows, external integrations, and data integrations.
• They should be able to design tests that validate non-functional requirements as part of automated testing within CI/CD pipelines.
• They should demonstrate critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to translate business, control, technical, and non-functional requirements into clear, executable test cases.
• They should be documentation-minded, able to produce evidence that stands up to external audit, and comfortable moving between engineering conversations and SOX/internal-controls discussions.
• 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
