HedgeServ is a fund administrator that develops technology and applications that are deployed to and used by hedge funds and investment firms. Our technology solution enables our internal operations to work effectively and efficiently, as well as enabling our customers to have industry-leading access to their information.

At HedgeServ, we have both internal users and client users of our applications. So the quality of our applications directly impacts both our productivity as well as our perception in the industry. Quality is the responsibility of the whole team.  Our technology teams are grouped around specific areas of functionality and are multi-disciplinary.

Responsibilities:

• Develop a thorough understanding of applications and user workflows in order to:

- Give the development team effective, timely feedback on new functionality. The business analyst on the team will provide the primary guidance on new functionality, but we expect programmers and testers on the team to be able to ask insightful questions and participate in discussions around functionality.

- Coordinate development of automated test suites. As quality is the responsibility of the team, you will both define scenarios for other team members to automate and build your own automated tests. So you have to be technical enough to work with our existing tools as well as help define enhancements to those tools.

- Conduct exploratory testing and efficiently communicate feedback to team so the team can incorporate that feedback to make the application better.

- Participate in resolving support issues that are escalated to the team.

• Review overnight automated test results and do preliminary analysis to guide team members to areas of the application that are the likely cause of failures.
• Participate in daily standups with application teams to ensure shared understanding of status.
• Participate in on-going initiatives and discussions around the art of testing, our user experience, and getting better at what we do.

Requirements:

• Some technical experience within the financial services industry and/or AWS, preferably in a testing role is a plus
• Functional familiarity with basic financial asset classes, both exchange-traded and over-the-counter
• Working knowledge with a variety of tools and techniques used in software testing, and a passion to continue to learn more.
• Experience in Agile Testing a plus.
• Experience in scripting and executing automated test suites.
• Experience in conducting Exploratory Testing sessions.
• Experience in diagnosing, reporting, tracking and resolving application issues.
• Familiarity with Python or any other object-oriented languages.
• Ability to communicate clearly in writing, by phone, and in person.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to resolve issues quickly and methodically.
