The project is a strategic initiative to deliver a new FX Swaps clearing capability, enabling atomic processing of swap packages (two-leg forwards) within a highly regulated, low-latency clearing environment.
The QA Engineer will contribute across the full testing lifecycle, including functional, integration, performance, and non-functional validation, while supporting continuous delivery in an agile environment.
This is a mission-critical backend system, operating under strict latency (≤10 seconds SLA), resilience, and regulatory (EMIR) constraints, with a strong emphasis on automation-first testing and AI-assisted engineering practices.
The solution will initially be deployed on-prem, with planned migration to AWS.
Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test strategies and test plans covering functional and non-functional requirements
Develop and execute automated test cases using: Cucumber / Gherkin, ORQA, existing java-based testing frameworks
Build and extend automated tests, while collaborating with Java Automation Engineers responsible for enhancing and maintaining core test frameworks
Validate end-to-end FX swap processing, ensuring atomic transaction integrity
Perform integration testing with external venues (e.g., FX matching platforms)
Perform testing of MQ-based integrations and XML messaging (ClearLink APIs)
Actively use GitHub Copilot and approved AI tooling for: test case generation, scenario expansion, coverage optimisation
Contribute to AI-driven testing improvements, including: intelligent test design, potential AI agents (e.g., validation, quality checks)
Conduct performance, latency, and capacity testing to meet strict SLA requirements (≤10 seconds)
Validate resilience, failover, and disaster recovery scenarios
Collaborate with developers, DevOps, and Product Owner to ensure quality throughout the SDLC
Support OAT (Operational Acceptance Testing) and UAT phases
Analyse defects, perform root cause analysis, and ensure timely resolution
Contribute to test automation coverage and CI/CD pipeline integration
Ensure high automation coverage (automation-first approach; manual testing only by exception)
Produce test reports, metrics, and documentation aligned with LSEG standards
Participate in agile ceremonies and support incremental delivery across release cycles
Provide go-live and post-release support, including weekend releases where required
Must have
Strong experience in QA engineering (10+ years preferred)
Proven expertise in test automation frameworks (Cucumber, Selenium or similar)
Experience testing Java/Spring Boot-based applications
Strong knowledge of functional, integration, and regression testing
Experience with API testing and integration testing
Solid understanding of non-functional testing (performance, resilience, capacity)
Familiarity with test management, defect tracking, and reporting tools
Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
Strong understanding of SDLC and QA best practices
Ability to validate complex workflows and transaction-based systems
Strong focus on test design, coverage, and automation strategy (not only execution)
Comfortable working in an environment where AI-assisted development and testing is standard practice
Nice to have
Experience in financial services, trading, or clearing platforms
Exposure to low-latency testing and SLA-driven systems
Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling)
Familiarity with Oracle databases and backend data validation
Experience with test environments involving caching layers (HazelCast)
Exposure to DevOps pipelines and CI/CD test integration
Understanding of regulatory and compliance testing (EMIR, financial controls)
Experience validating high-resilience / mission-critical platforms
Exposure to AI-assisted testing or test optimisation techniques
