WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Define and drive the validation strategy for AI-assisted software delivery across our Macro Trading Technology team, building a scalable approach that protects trading integrity while accelerating releases
- Translate deep knowledge of macro trading workflows into clear behavioral rules, acceptance criteria, and validation scenarios that guide engineers and AI tools during development
- Collaborate with engineering leadership, business analysts, and stakeholders, to clarify expected system behavior before and during implementation and to build consensus on release gates
- Build and maintain comprehensive regression coverage for critical trading workflows, including end-to-end workflow regression, data validation, user interface checks, downstream-impact verification, and documented manual validation paths
- Develop and maintain Playwright-based automation for high-value user journeys such as blotter behavior, trade capture flows, workflow controls, release smoke checks, and regression packs
- Use AI tools as an integral part of validation to accelerate rule definition, scenario generation, test design, automation development, defect analysis, documentation, and release preparation
- Validate AI-generated code and configuration changes through targeted human review, automated tests, exploratory testing, and evidence-based release checks
- Create reusable assets including rule catalogs, scenario libraries, golden datasets, regression packs, automation suites, manual validation scripts, and release-readiness playbooks that others can build on
- Lead user acceptance testing planning and execution, drive defect triage and release-readiness assessment, and own post-release validation and stabilization for business-critical macro trading workflows
WHAT'S REQUIRED
- 8+ years of professional experience in trading technology, business systems analysis, quality assurance, validation engineering, test automation, or software delivery
- Hands-on domain experience with financial markets or trading technology, including exposure to fixed income, futures, foreign exchange, trade capture, blotter behavior, automated straight-through processing, order management and execution systems, or front-office trading platforms
- Strong background designing and executing validation for production systems, including regression testing, user acceptance testing, manual validation, exploratory testing, defect triage, release support, and post-release stabilization
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex business workflows, identify edge cases and control points, and convert expected behavior into testable requirements and release-readiness evidence
- Hands-on experience developing and maintaining automation for modern web applications using Playwright or equivalent automation frameworks
- Strong SQL and data analysis skills with the ability to validate system behavior through database queries, logs, APIs, service responses, and downstream data inspection
- Practical experience using AI tools across the delivery lifecycle, with a strong understanding of how AI-assisted development increases the need for clearer business rules, stronger regression coverage, targeted human review, and evidence-based release gates
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work effectively with engineering, business analysts, trading stakeholders, program management, operations, and compliance
- Commitment to the highest ethical standards
