We’re looking for a Software Engineer in Test with a strong testing mindset to build a backtesting and test automation framework around an in-house trading system.

  • Making it straightforward for non-developers to add new tests
  • Experience building a backtesting framework or automation framework
  • A strong understanding of automated testing architecture
  • Experience working with event-driven systems
  • Experience running tests in parallel and handling high data volumes
