Support full lifecycle of UAT, including test planning, execution, and defect triage related to FIX-based trade flow validations.

Act as a liaison between internal stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring business needs are accurately translated into system changes and enhancements.

Qualifications:

  • Strong hands-on experience with FIX messaging protocol, especially in allocation and confirmation workflows.
  • Proven ability to work across asset classes including Equities, Fixed Income, Options, and Futures.
  • Experience supporting centralized trade allocation platforms or large-scale middle office transformation initiatives.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
  • Proficiency in Agile delivery environments and tools such as JIRA and Confluence.
