• Participate in the creation and construction of automated testing solutions that improve scalability, reliability, and release confidence
• Collaborate with engineering teams to improve quality practices, testability, and risk mitigation throughout the development lifecycle
• Analyze customer-reported issues and production defects to identify root causes and drive long-term improvements
• Think creatively, own problems, seek solutions, and communicate clearly along the way
• Contribute to a collaborative environment deeply rooted in learning, teaching, and transparency

What we look for:

• 5+ years in a Quality Engineering, Software Testing, or related position validating complex SaaS applications
• Deep understanding of performance analytics methodologies and practical experience validating TWR, Brinson Attribution, benchmark analysis, and Profit & Loss calculations within investment management platforms
• Experience validating and triaging business-critical workflows where accuracy, transparency, and data integrity are essential
• Familiarity working with APIs, databases, and automated testing frameworks
• Experience validating applications built on cloud native platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
• Strong analytical thinking with an aptitude for identifying workflow gaps and complex edge cases
• Experience collaborating closely with engineering, product, and business stakeholders throughout the software development lifecycle
• Willingness to learn about new technologies while simultaneously developing expertise in a business domain/problem space
• Understand the value of automated tests at all levels
• Ability to focus on short-term deliverables while maintaining a big-picture long term perspective
• Experience with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or ChatGPT
• An aptitude for complex problem-solving
• Ability to communicate with colleagues at all levels
• Serious interest in having fun at work
