Req. VR-122462
Luxoft has one of the world's leading Calypso practice.
We are a top-tier Calypso Partner and a market leader in implementation, integration, upgrade, and migration.
We provide end-to-end project services and have delivered Calypso projects across all major asset classes and sectors including investment banking, asset management, corporate treasury, and insurance.
Project Description:
Support and additional build out (projects) for Calypso instance.
A QA role focused on translating business requirements and functional analysis into structured, comprehensive test cases in the Front Office. The Calypso QA Analyst works closely with business analysts and functional leads to understand scope and system behavior, then builds the test case library that drives test execution. The role is execution-focused — the QA Analyst does not own the test strategy but is the key contributor to test case quality, coverage, and readiness across all Calypso test phases.
Test Case Development
Analyze business requirements, functional specifications, and scope documents produced by the business and functional analysts
Translate requirements into structured, detailed test cases covering functional scenarios, edge cases, and negative paths
Build test cases for the full Calypso trade lifecycle: booking, amendment (economic and non-economic), cancellation, termination, roll-over, fixings, and corporate actions
Develop test cases for payment processing scenarios — including netting eligibility, gross vs net payment behavior, and payment control validation
Create SWIFT message test cases per product and event type (MT103, MT202, MT300, MT320, MT518, MT541, MT543, MT900, MT910, MT940)
Write workflow test cases covering routing rules, queue behavior, and end-to-end event flow through Calypso
Ensure every business requirement and in-scope scenario has at least one corresponding test case — maintain traceability
Define clear expected results and acceptance criteria for each test case
Test Execution
Execute functional test cases in Calypso UAT and test environments
Validate system behavior against expected results and raise defects for any discrepancies
Retest resolved defects and confirm fixes do not introduce regressions
Participate in UAT alongside business users — providing test case guidance and supporting execution
Defect Reporting
Log defects clearly with reproducible steps, expected vs actual results, and supporting evidence
Triage defects with the functional analyst and technical team to assess severity and priority
Track defects through to resolution and confirm closure before sign-off

5+ years hands-on Calypso experience — working knowledge of trade booking, payment processing, and system workflows in UAT; front office experience

Desirable
Familiarity with CATT (Calypso Automated Testing Tool) — understanding of what it covers and how manual QA complements it

Nice to have
Experience with the following is a plus:
