Overview
We are seeking a Software Tester to support one of the largest transformation programs currently underway within Nucleus. This is a critical initiative, and the role will be integral to ensuring the quality and reliability of our solutions during this period of significant change. As part of a small, agile testing team, you will work collaboratively with internal stakeholders and our external vendor to understand the scope of change, assess risks, and determine their impact on test coverage. You will translate complex business rules and operational processes into clear and comprehensive test cases, ensuring thorough validation of both front-end web clients and back-office applications.
The ideal candidate will bring proven experience in test analysis, preparation, and execution, particularly within the financial services sector or a related domain. Your expertise will help shape a robust testing strategy that supports successful delivery of this high-profile transformation project. You will actively seek out new ways to do things and continuously look to improve the way we work. Your own learning will be a key motivator, and you will shape this role based on your knowledge and tenacity. You will have a passion for exploring new technologies and use your findings to create value in the test space.
Key Accountabilities / Responsibilities
* Understanding the scope of change on projects or platforms, assessing associated risks, and determining their impact on test coverage.
* Translating business rules and operations into comprehensive test cases.
* Utilising exploratory testing methods to identify potential issues and enhance the overall testing process.
* Executing test cases with precision, using both manual testing and automated tools where applicable.
* Meticulously identifying, documenting, and retesting software defects, collaborating with developers to implement and verify fixes while informing stakeholders of progress and results.
* Assisting the Test Lead in documenting testing progress and ensuring fulfilment of test exit criteria.
* Actively seeking new methodologies to enhance testing processes and continuously improve team workflows.
Qualifications / What you’ll bring
A bit about you: you are curious, enjoy tackling complex problems, and like exploring new technologies to improve how you and the team work. We prioritise culture contribution, but in this role we’d like you to have the following capabilities:
* Experience testing web clients and back-office applications.
* Background in test analysis, preparation, and execution, particularly in financial services.
* Excellent communication and reporting abilities to convey complex technical information.
* Proficiency in designing, executing, and maintaining test cases.
* Familiarity with exploratory testing methodologies.
* Ability to work independently on projects with self-motivation and initiative.
* Experience in platform or project model office testing, or any user testing, would be beneficial.
* Familiarity with the Wrap platform, particularly Sonata or FnZ, is advantageous.
* Experience with test automation to support development of web and back-office applications is desirable but not a deal breaker.
