About the Project

We are looking for a Senior/Lead autmation/functional tester to be part of the Financial Market Solution Delivery team.
Market Risk Technology need to build out an automated regression testing suite to streamline delivery of new functionality whilst also reducing the risk of the change introduced production incidents. Currently, regression testing is manually completed which is both time-consuming and error-prone.
The Market Risk Technology landscape is also undergoing a transformation and as such, we need the regression framework to be flexible and provide certainty that change through this transformation will not cause regressions in functionality.
The current team do not have deep expertise in test automation and therefore we need to bolster this skillset and deliver a framework which we can take forward.
