Senior QA Engineer

We are DXC Luxoft Financial Services, an award-winning provider of technology solutions dedicated to the Financial Services sector.

We are establishing a high-impact engineering squad in Bucharest to deliver a next-generation Financial Markets Clearing Platform for FX Swaps, a critical component in the global clearing ecosystem.

A key innovation area in this program is the adoption of AI-driven tooling to modernize and extend an existing service that currently processes CSV-based trade data. The goal is to intelligently transform and enrich trade data into compliant FPML (Financial products Markup Language) formats, supporting new and evolving product types with minimal manual intervention.

This initiative operates within a highly regulated, low-latency environment, with strict requirements around resilience, performance, and availability, while also preparing the platform for future cloud migration within the next 12–18 months.

You will work in an Agile Scrum environment, contributing across the full SDLC—from architecture and design to implementation, testing, and production rollout—while aligning with client engineering standards.

Team Overview
We are building a dedicated squad in Bucharest (Java Developers + QA Automation Engineers) working closely with global teams. The team operates in 2-week sprint cycles, following Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog refinement).
The team will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of the FX Swaps product, including design, development, testing, production deployment, and post-go-live support.

Responsibilities

Test Strategy & Component Testing

Design and execute component-level test strategies, with strong focus on service-level validation

Define and implement test plans covering functional and non-functional requirements

Validate complex trade workflows ensuring transaction integrity and accuracy

Automation & Framework Development

Develop automated tests using Cucumber/Gherkin and Java-based frameworks

Contribute to building a new test automation framework, leveraging existing frameworks and extending them where needed

Work with tools such as Cucumber, IntelliJ, Fusion, and ORQA (custom framework)

Collaborate closely with Java Automation Engineers maintaining core frameworks

Integration & Data Testing

Perform integration testing with external FX venues (e.g., FX matching platforms)

Validate end-to-end FX trade processing flows

Non-Functional & Quality Assurance

Execute performance, latency, and capacity testing aligned with strict SLAs

Validate resilience, failover, and recovery scenarios

Ensure high automation coverage (automation-first approach)

AI & Continuous Improvement

Leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for test generation and coverage optimization

Contribute to AI-driven testing approaches, including intelligent test design and validation

Collaboration & Delivery

Work in Agile Scrum teams, supporting CI/CD and incremental releases
