Responsibilities
Architect and build next-generation, object-oriented test automation frameworks using Python that treat infrastructure-as-code and integrate deeply with backend microservices
Engineer AI-driven tools that utilize LLMs to analyze pull requests, automatically generate Python-based unit and integration tests for financial logic, and dynamically inject them into the CI/CD pipeline
Develop "self-healing" test suites that adapt to UI or API schema changes automatically, reducing maintenance overhead for the engineering team
Validate the integrity of complex FinTech flows—including multi-party payments, ledger reconciliation, and automated invoicing—ensuring mathematical accuracy across distributed systems
Build custom CI/CD plugins and orchestration workflows (e.g., in Jenkins or Argo) that intelligently select and execute tests based on the scope of code changes
Write high-performance Python code to simulate massive transaction loads, stress-testing our financial platforms to ensure stability during peak global events
Collaborate with backend engineers to design testable architectures and promote a culture where quality is baked into the code from the first commit
