About the role

Have you worked through complex accounting workflows like accruals, reconciliations, tax lot accounting, corporate actions, or multi-currency processing and developed an instinct for where operational risk lives?
Do you understand how to distinguish a technically valid implementation from an accounting outcome that's actually correct - and enjoy bringing that perspective in close partnership with product managers and engineers?

Engage as a co-equal partner from requirements through release, contributing a quality and risk lens at every stage rather than validating outcomes at the end of a build cycle
Operate independently on assigned features - leading test planning, engaging in requirements and design discussions, and making sound quality judgments - without requiring close methodology coaching
Participate in requirements and design reviews as an independent quality voice, surfacing workflow gaps, missing edge cases, and cross-system risk before implementation begins
Lead domain-focused test planning for workflows including accruals, reconciliations, tax lot accounting, corporate actions, and multi-currency accounting
Validate accounting outcomes against expected financial behavior and real client operating workflows
Build strong partnerships across Product, Engineering, and Quality Engineering rooted in transparency, accountability, and shared ownership

Do you have experience working with investment accounting systems where correctness depends as much on domain judgment as technical implementation?

Prior experience in Quality Engineering, software testing, or test automation
Experience using or supporting portfolio accounting platforms or investment operations systems
Experience with SaaS fintech or investment management platforms
Familiarity with API testing, automation frameworks, CI/CD practices, or test-driven development approaches
Experience mentoring teammates or influencing quality practices across organizations
