Job Title: Mainframe Batch Tester

Location: 100 % REMOTE

Duration : 12 months plus extensions

Role Overview

Own test planning and execution for changes to the ACS batch system and its integration with the cloud collections platform, including onboarding of two compliance data sources. Validate end-to-end posting logic, exception handling, data quality, and auditability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Test Planning & Design
    • Create the Master Test Plan, test scenarios, detailed test cases, and data setup strategies for batch and API/file interfaces.
    • Build traceability to requirements and risks (RTM).
  • Execution
    • Execute SIT, regression, data reconciliation, and end-to-end tests across mainframe and cloud components.
    • Validate batch cycles (triggers, dependencies, restart), and check downstream impacts (reports, statements, ledgers).
    • Test negative and edge cases: partial payments, insufficient funds, reversals, duplicates, late/invalid feeds.
  • Tooling & Evidence
    • Use SQL/DB2 and file compare tools to verify results; collect logs/screens (e.g., Splunk/ELK, 3270 emulator).
    • File defects in JIRA/ADO; support root cause with dev/analysts; retest fixes.
  • Readiness
    • Support UAT, sign-off, cutover rehearsal, and hypercare; contribute to go/no-go.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years functional testing in financial/banking systems with mainframe batch exposure.
  • Strong SQL and data validation skills; experience testing file feeds and APIs.
  • Ability to interpret COBOL/JCL run results, job logs, and abend codes (at least at a tester s depth).
  • Excellent documentation, defect triage, and stakeholder communication.

Preferred

  • Experience with collections/loan servicing or payments.
  • Test tools: Postman/ReadyAPI, qTest/Zephyr, Jenkins pipelines; basic scripting (Python/PowerShell) a plus.

Key Deliverables: Master Test Plan, test cases & data, execution reports, defect metrics, UAT sign-off package, cutover validation checklist.
