Non-Functional Tester
We’re working with a global financial technology group undergoing a major transformation to modernise its post-trade infrastructure. The organisation is transitioning from legacy systems to a cloud-native, Kafka-based architecture designed for resilience, scalability, and performance.
You’ll be part of a growing Non-Functional Testing (NFT) team responsible for ensuring that services and platforms meet the highest standards for performance, reliability, and operational readiness. This is a technically rich role, working across multiple domains including performance, failover, disaster recovery, resilience, alerting, and monitoring.
Responsibilities
- Define, document, and execute Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) across distributed microservices and infrastructure components.
- Collaborate with architects, product owners, and engineering squads to translate NFRs into measurable test scenarios.
- Develop and implement NFT strategies covering performance, scalability, failover, DR, resilience, alerting, and monitoring.
- Design and execute load, stress, endurance, and failover tests using industry-standard tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, or ADS.
- Set up observability dashboards (Grafana, Splunk, Dynatrace, Kibana, or Datadog) to monitor test execution and system performance.
- Analyse results to identify performance bottlenecks, system vulnerabilities, and areas for optimisation.
- Report findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Contribute to test automation frameworks, CI/CD integration, and continuous improvement of NFT processes.
- Support the onboarding of new services and provide input into architectural reviews from an NFT perspective.

- Strong understanding of distributed architectures, Java microservices, and containerised deployments.
- Proficiency with testing and monitoring tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, Grafana, Dynatrace, Splunk, or AppDynamics.
- Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps tooling – Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and related ecosystems.
