Job Overview
As a Senior SDET, you will play a critical, hands-on role in ensuring the quality, reliability, resilience and performance of our trading and research systems. This is a software-engineering role: you will design and build test automation from the ground up, not just execute test plans. You will work closely with engineers, researchers, trading and operations teams to design, automate and own testing strategies across services and workflows.
This is an individual-contributor role focused on deep technical execution, framework ownership and quality advocacy. You will shape best practices, identify gaps in existing testing approaches, and drive improvements across the SDLC, particularly in high-ambiguity areas where testing is limited or does not yet exist.
