The Impact You Will Have in This Role

As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will play a

critical role in modernizing Java‑based, cloud‑ready platforms that support

DTCC’s financial risk management and daily settlement operations. You will be

embedded within a business‑aligned development squad and work at the center of

DTCC’s multi‑year enterprise modernization program (through 2028), contributing

directly to the stability, resilience, and integrity of the clearing ecosystem.

In this role, you will

• design, build, and own engineering‑grade test automation
• frameworks that ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of
• mission‑critical systems. You will partner closely with software engineers,
• architects, product managers, and platform teams to embed quality throughout the
• SDLC, influence technical direction, and support the transition from legacy
• platforms to scalable, resilient, cloud‑ready architectures.
• This is a hands‑on, code‑driven role requiring strong Core Java programming
• skills and deep Selenium automation expertise. You will actively develop
• automation frameworks, write reusable Java components, and solve complex testing
• and system‑stability challenges across UI, API, and backend layers. This is not
• a manual QA or scripting‑only position—it is a technical leadership role focused
• on building scalable automation solutions and driving engineering excellence at
• enterprise scale.
• Your Primary

Responsibilities

• * Lead the strategy, design, and evolution of enterprise-grade test automation
• frameworks, seamlessly integrated into modern CI/CD pipelines
• * Champion an “automation-first” quality engineering mindset, driving
• comprehensive test coverage across API, UI, integration, and end-to-end
• layers
• * Leverage AI-driven testing capabilities (e.g., intelligent test generation,
• self-healing automation, test optimization, anomaly detection, and defect
• pattern analysis) to enhance efficiency, reliability, and coverage
• * Serve as a technical leader and mentor, accelerating adoption of automation
• and AI-driven practices across the quality engineering community
• * Design, build, and scale robust Java-based automation frameworks using tools
• such as Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and JUnit
• * Develop high-quality, reusable, and maintainable code (utilities, base
• classes, and shared components) using strong object-oriented principles
• * Implement modern automation design patterns (e.g., Page Object Model) to
• ensure scalability, maintainability, and extensibility
• * Build automation solutions for UI, API, and backend systems, including
• database validation using JDBC/JPA and SQL
• * Diagnose and resolve test issues by debugging, refactoring, and optimizing
• automation suites, addressing flakiness, synchronization, and locator
• strategies
• * Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins,
• Bitbucket) to enable continuous testing and rapid feedback loops
• * Actively contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and solution
• design, driving best practices in quality engineering
• * Partner closely with engineering, product, and DevOps teams in Agile
• environments to continuously improve product quality, delivery velocity, and
• overall engineering excellence.

Qualifications

• * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related
• field, or equivalent professional experience.
• * 6–8+ years of experience in test automation, SDET, or quality engineering
• roles with a strong engineering focus.
• Talent Needed for Success
• * Strong hands‑on Core Java programming experience, demonstrated through
• automation framework development — not just test scripting.
• * Proven ability to apply Core Java concepts in real automation code,
• including:
• * Object‑Oriented Programming (inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation)
• * Java Collections (List, Map, Set)
• * Exception handling
• * Basic concurrency / multithreading concepts
• * Deep hands‑on experience with Selenium WebDriver, including:
• * Writing and maintaining Page Objects
• * Effective locator strategies (XPath, CSS)
• * Synchronization and test stability best practices
• * Experience completing hands‑on Java and Selenium coding exercises, including
• live technical interviews.
• * Hands‑on experience with TestNG and/or JUnit, Maven/Gradle, Git, and CI/CD
• pipelines.
• * Experience with API testing using Rest Assured and SQL‑based backend
• validation.
• * Strong understanding of software testing methodologies and TDD/BDD
• principles.

Nice to Have

• Skills
• * Exposure to cloud environments and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• * Experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter.
• * Experience working in Agile / DevOps environments with continuous integration
• and delivery.
