About the role
We are seeking two QA Engineers to support one of our clients in the financial services / wealth management space. In this role, you will perform manual and automated testing across web-based applications, partner closely with Agile team members, and help strengthen quality practices across sprint cycles and releases.
You’ll be hands-on with test planning, execution, defect triage, and regression testing—while also contributing to building and expanding automated regression coverage. This is a great opportunity for a QA professional who is detail-oriented, analytical, and comfortable working in fast-paced, deadline-driven delivery.
Key responsibilities

- Build strong functional knowledge of assigned applications/modules to test effectively and confidently
- Collaborate with Agile team members to create test plans, test cases, and test data for sprint work
- Participate in sprint ceremonies and support the team in completing on-time releases
- Perform regression testing and help develop/expand automated regression suites for web applications
- Identify, document, and track defects with clear reproduction steps and helpful technical context
- Prioritize and execute tasks efficiently in a time-sensitive, deadline-driven environment
- Communicate test results, risks, and quality trends to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Required qualifications
- 4–5+ years of application testing experience using both manual and automated approaches
- Experience testing web-based applications using automated test tools (any modern framework/tools acceptable)
- Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and working within sprint-based delivery
- Extensive experience with T-SQL (writing, analyzing, and validating data through queries)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong analytical problem-solving ability
- Ability to work independently while also contributing effectively within a collaborative team
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in wealth management or broader financial services environments
- Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate ideas in both technical and user-friendly language
- Exposure to building scalable automation strategies and maintaining reliable regression coverage
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
