Project Description
Our client is a leading global Financial market data provider who runs a number of change programs to deliver high-quality software that connects Financial Markets across the globe in a real-time, high-frequency, and low-latency data management chain. The projects are technically challenging in an environment that is very engaging.
You will join a dedicated Testing Chapter supporting the client's real-time engineering re-platforming programme - a major modernisation of the platform that distributes real-time market data. The chapter's mission is to increase repeatable, automated test evidence, reduce manual regression effort, and give product teams the confidence to release faster.
We are looking for a QA Automation Lead (based in London) to provide overall leadership, direction, and governance for test automation - ensuring automation delivery aligns with quality objectives and business priorities.
