Senior QA Automation Engineer (Python)
We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer with strong technical chops and a passion for hands-on testing in Linux-based environments. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly within test and regression environments, supporting automation, troubleshooting, and system validation—not just building frameworks.
You’ll collaborate with QA leads, developers, and environment support teams to ensure the reliability and scalability of trading and batch systems. The focus will be on maintaining and running automation, validating system stability and performance, and performing regression testing in complex environments.
Responsibilities
- Execute, maintain, and troubleshoot Linux shell scripts to support test and regression activities
- Build and adapt automation scripts and utilities using Python (preferred language)
- Operate within non-functional regression (NFR) environments focusing on stability, performance, and batch validation
- Support end-to-end testing cycles, ensuring smooth execution and results validation in pre-production setups
- Run SQL queries for data verification, test validation, and troubleshooting
- Collaborate with QA and development teams to identify automation process improvements and environment optimizations
- Learn and support testing activities for Murex systems—Murex experience is not required but a willingness to learn is essential
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering or related technical discipline
- Strong experience in Linux/Unix environments with proven ability to run and debug shell scripts
- Solid knowledge of Python scripting for automation tasks
- Exposure to regression testing NFR validation and batch execution processes
- Hands-on experience with SQL for data validation and analysis
- Practical understanding of QA processes and environment management
Nice to have
- Exposure to financial systems or capital markets environments
- Basic understanding of automation frameworks (though not the primary focus)
- Familiarity with tools such as Jenkins GitLab CI/CD or similar automation orchestrators
