  • 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.
  • Solid object-oriented programming skills (Java) and test framework experience (e.g., TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber/BDD).
  • Understanding of the banking/lending domain: loan application flows, credit approval, underwriting, lifecycle of financial products or banking operations.
  • Good analytical and problem-solving capabilities; ability to work in fast paced, startup-style environment.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across teams and geographies.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline with 4-5 years of work experience.
