Technical Test Lead – Investment Banking Consultancy recruitment
Rule Financial are as busy as ever and as such need to expand the team for a particular project. This project is primarily a technical upgrade of underlying messaging infrastructure for an Exchange Traded Fund manager platform for one of our major clients.
You will be a ‘hands-on’ Test Consultant and your responsibilities will cover: test planning; test preparation and test execution. The system under test is primarily a server side application and you will therefore have strong experience of testing similar systems. The experience should extend to the creation of utilities to support the automation of testing – i.e. creation, processing and verification of transactions and batch processes. A knowledge of the FIX messaging protocol is a key technical requirement for the role.
You will be required to provide regular reports that not only demonstrate the status of testing at any given point but, fundamentally, provide metrics based reports on the readiness of the system for go-live. The testing approach will need to be risk-based. You will confidently be able to communicate not only with stakeholders within the project team but especially with external users from the business.
You will be a Consultant with the desire to make a difference and grow the organisation and will therefore be extensively involved in contributing to the growth of the testing capability – particularly around server side testing.
Your talents:
- Proven testing experience (specifically test leadership; test analysis, test case design and test execution)
- Experience of testing server side applications
- Thorough knowledge of functional and non-functional testing using structured testing techniques
- Experience in the leadership of testing teams and testing activities
- Defect Management experience
- Risk-based approach to developing test strategies for maximum value, and assessing impact and testing risk of software changes
- Strong client facing and communication skills (both verbal and written)
- Strong knowledge of industry-defined Testing Services/Methodologies
- Reasonable technical capability around Fix messaging; sql, unix
Your ideal talents:
- Test automation expertise
- Investment Banking experience especially across Exchange Traded Funds
- ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst and/or Test Manager certification
