3+ years of experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks and scripts for full‑stack web applications.

Solid understanding of software testing methodologies, including unit, integration, end‑to‑end, and regression testing.

Experience using AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Devin) to accelerate feature delivery.

Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).

Familiarity with test environment management, test data strategies, and mocking/stubbing techniques.

Strong fundamentals in defect analysis, root‑cause diagnosis, and producing actionable defect reports.

Experience working in an Agile team environment with shared quality ownership across development and QA.

Comfortable working remotely with a distributed team.

Experience with version control systems (Git)



and collaborative development workflows.

Adaptable mindset with demonstrated ability to learn and pragmatically adopt recent testing tools and practices.

Excellent communication skills to articulate quality risks and test findings to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Understanding of Private Equity Fund Administration or Fund Accounting.

Experience with performance and load testing tools.

Familiarity with security testing practices and tools relevant to financial or regulated environments.

Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).

Knowledge of API testing tools and practices (e.g., Postman, REST‑assured).

Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools to support production validation and feedback loops.
