📋 Description

• Create comprehensive test plans before feature development, defining manual and automated testing strategies. • Perform hands-on manual testing during development cycles to validate new features before automation. • Balance manual exploratory testing with automation to catch edge cases that scripts might miss. • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to define QA processes for a mission-critical trading platform. • Lead automation initiatives end-to-end: strategy, implementation, CI/CD integration, and scaling coverage. • Drive performance, security, and accessibility testing to deliver a top-tier experience for traders. • Proactively document, report, and triage bugs to improve release quality and velocity.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong programming skills in Python, Rust or another automation-oriented language. • Trading knowledge and experience - understanding of order types, trade execution, margin trading, and general financial markets (we'll support deepening your expertise, but foundational knowledge is essential). • Proven ability to design comprehensive test plans before implementation, identifying what should be manually tested vs. automated. • Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining test automation frameworks on complex applications. • Strong manual testing skills and ability to think creatively to uncover edge cases and unexpected bugs. • Solid understanding of QA principles, including exploratory testing, regression testing, and bug tracking. • Comfort with CI/CD integration and automation at scale. • Detail-oriented mindset with a passion for building high-quality software and ability to think outside the box.
