Join OakNorth as an SDET to enhance automation in the lending domain utilizing Java. Collaborate within a dynamic team to ensure quality in banking applications.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain robust automation frameworks (Java-based) for both UI and API layers.
Build, execute, and maintain automated regression suites tied into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, AWS CodePipeline).
Collaborate with development, product, operations and QA teams from early requirement and design phases to production release, ensuring quality is built-in (shift-left).
Define test strategies, identify test coverage gaps, ensure test data management, environment provisioning, and automate test execution in AWS environments (e.g., EC2, Lambda, containers).
Validate functionality, performance and reliability of lending/banking domain-specific workflows (e.g., credit decisioning, loan lifecycle, user onboarding, payments, risk).
Monitor, analyse and report test metrics and quality indicators; raise risks, drive continuous improvement in quality processes.
Stay current with test automation tools, frameworks, best practices, and domain trends (fintech, lending, banking) and propose improvements.
Requirements
4-5 years of professional experience as QA Automation Engineer / SDET with primary hands-on in Java.
Strong experience in automation of UI (e.g., Selenium WebDriver, Cypress, Playwright) and API (e.g., RestAssured, Postman, Karate) layers — ideally both.
