You’ll support engineering teams in delivering high‑quality software solutions. /p pWe run Scrum with two‑week sprints across multiple product squads building complex financial software — web applications (Angular / Java Spring Boot) and native mobile apps (iOS and Android). /p pQuality engineering is a key pillar of our delivery model: from acceptance criteria defined before a sprint begins, to automated gates in CI/CD, to structured regression across client environments. We’re looking for someone who can own and continuously raise that bar. /p h3Main Activities /h3 h3Test Strategy Governance /h3 ul liDefine and own the overall test strategy across squads — coverage targets, risk‑based priorities, regression approach, and a Definition of Done with real teeth. /li liFacilitate Three Amigos sessions (BA + Dev + QA) before each sprint, ensuring acceptance criteria are written,
testable and tracked in Jira before a single line of code is committed. /li liBuild upgrade and release checklists that prevent the kind of regression incidents that erode client confidence. /li /ul h3Automation Tooling /h3 ul liDefine and evolve the test automation framework end‑to‑end: architecture, tooling choices, standards, long‑term maintenance. /li liDesign and maintain CI/CD quality gates that block defective code before it reaches production, and define coverage standards across unit, integration, end‑to‑end and regression tests for both web and mobile. /li /ul h3Mobile Quality /h3 ul liDefine and own the testing strategy for our native iOS (Swift/Obj‑C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) applications — device/OS coverage matrices, automated test suites, and regression coverage across upgrade cycles and client‑specific environments. /li /ul h3Cross‑Squad Quality Leadership /h3 ul liAct as the quality authority across the engineering organisation — not through hierarchy, but through expertise and trust, which will be the key focus. /li liRunning regular quality alignment meetings, coaching developers and QA engineers, and advocating for testability at the design stage before problems become expensive. /li liContribute to improving development and testing workflows in a modern engineering environment and actively participate in release validation, defect management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement. /li /ul h3Candidate's Experience and Qualifications /h3 ul li5+ years in software quality engineering, at least 2 in a senior or lead individual contributor role. /li liExperience in building automation frameworks from scratch.
/li liHands‑on experience with native mobile testing on iOS and/or Android (Appium, XCTest, Espresso or equivalent). /li liExperience or strong familiarity with Agile/Scrum environments and you understand where quality fits in the delivery cycle — not after it. /li /ul ul liDemonstrated capability with Frontend automation for Angular/TypeScript (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright or equivalent). /li liStrong experience with web and API testing methodologies (Postman, REST‑assured). /li liProven ability with test management tooling (Jira Xray, Zephyr or equivalent). /li liUnderstanding of CI/CD pipeline integration and quality gate design. /li liProven knowledge of English language – written and spoken. /li liBackground in fintech, banking or regulated software environments is a genuine advantage. /li /ul h3Candidate's Skills and Personal Qualities /h3 ul liAbility to challenge existing practices constructively and propose improvements. /li liAbility to balance quality objectives with delivery timelines. /li liStrong communication and collaboration skills. /li liAbility to influence stakeholders without direct authority. /li /ul h3What We Offer /h3 ul liDirect collaboration with engineering leadership and cross‑functional product teams. /li liThe opportunity to contribute to software solutions supporting investment professionals across more than 15 countries. /li liAn engineering team committed to evolving its practices and continuously improving the quality of its products and processes. /li liHybrid working arrangement based in Milan. /li liPermanent employment with remuneration commensurate with seniority and experience. /li liBenefits – e.g. welfare, ticket, health insurance, discounts with our partners. /li /ul h3Equal Opportunities /h3 pWe are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
