Remote QA Specialist — Core Banking Data Validation

AspenView Technology Partners, Inc.; United States; Remote; USD 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

AspenView Technology Partners is seeking a QA Specialist to join a dedicated nearshore team supporting a U.S. advisory firm that leads core banking conversions for community and regional banks. The role focuses on SQL-driven data validation and functional testing and sits with the client’s conversion test lead.

The ideal candidate has 4+ years in QA, strong SQL, defect tracking skills, and professional English, and will work remote from LATAM with U.S. business hours.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in software QA or systems testing, writing and owning test plans and test cases rather than only executing someone else’s.
• Hands-on data migration or integration testing experience: proving that what left system A arrived intact in system B and pinpointing the transformation that broke it when it didn’t.
• A track record of logging defects that hold up, with reproducible steps, defensible severity, and disciplined retesting.
• Ability to explain a defect clearly to a developer, a vendor analyst, and an operations manager who doesn’t read SQL.
• Professional English (B2 or above), strong enough to walk a U.S. bank’s operations team through a defect on a triage call and write the evidence they will sign off.

Responsibilities

• Build and own test plans for each conversion workstream (data validation, functional, integration, regression, and UAT support), mapped to the core vendor’s mock conversion schedule.
• Write UAT scripts the institution’s staff can follow and sign off, and build regression suites that remain valuable well beyond go-live.
• Perform post-mock data validation, reconciling record counts, balances, accrued interest, rates, maturity dates, holds, and transaction history between the legacy and target cores.
• Trace every data break back to the mapping rule that caused it and document findings clearly.
• Design test cases for the processing most likely to break during a conversion: deposit and loan servicing, end-of-day runs, interest accrual, fees, ACH and wire files, debit card authorizations, statements, and GL postings.
• Test the integrations re-pointed to the new core, including digital and mobile banking, card processing, bill pay, ATM network, loan origination, and CRM.
• Triage defects with the core vendor, retest fixes, and report the defect trends that inform the go/no-go decision.
• Provide clear test recommendations to the institution, which signs off on results and makes the final go/no-go call.
• Support conversion weekend and day-one activities, which take place outside normal hours and are planned months in advance.
