We have an excellent position for a automated test engineer to join the world leading sports spread betting and quantitative pricing company.
This position is to work in a newly formed Trading Services Team. Trading Services consist of several delivery teams that are responsible for designing and building out a variety of new cloud based platforms. These include our new quantitative sports pricing grid, our real time global data feeds team and our machine learning analytics platform.
The role will be to work in the delivery teams roaming over the codebase to try and find the hidden boundary cases that the developers hope no one will discover. Once you have identified an error you will write an automated test that causes our build system to break/halt and so force the development team to fix the problem. You will also be responsible for providing additional verification tests of the running platforms to ensure that the system is doing what it is supposed to be doing. This is very much a hands on role that will work closely with both the developers and devops on each delivery team.
We are looking for:
*Creative and productive yet with the discipline to work in an automated, continuous deployment environment.
*Willing to learn, try new approaches and engage with a team (techies and traders) who will challenge your skills and expect direct feedback on what is or isn't possible within a time frame.
*Strong C# coders who are able and willing to look through a codebase to identify areas of concern.
*Able to write their own unit and infrastructure tests.
*Passionate about automation, monitoring and alerting.
*Even more passionate about finding bugs and willing to actively push to find out where the system breaks.
So if you are looking to work in a team which is leading the way in Cloud Based design and real-time sports modelling then please forward your CV.
