My client, a Global Investment Bank, are looking for an Automation Tester to join their Front Office e-trading team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a global trading platform within a market leading team, giving candidates the opportunity to learn about the business and work on cutting edge technology.

You would be working alongside the development team, making key decisions and playing an active part in different parts of the system. The team has excellent staff retention rates and they're happy to consider candidates from outside of financial services providing candidates are very strong technically and have a passion for QA.

Requirements:

  • A proven track record in Testing / QA, coupled with recent Automation experience

  • Experience in developing and executing of automated test scripts.
  • Hands on experience gained with either Java, C# or Python
