Lead Quality Engineering at EBRD, shaping automated testing across mission‑critical financial platforms.
Drive AI‑powered QE, embed quality in every delivery stage, and shape financial system resilience in a regulated environment.
Shape how quality is engineered across mission‑critical financial platforms.
This is a rare opportunity to lead Quality Engineering at scale, driving intelligent automation, embedding quality into every stage of delivery, and redefining how enterprise systems are tested, validated, and trusted. You’ll operate across a diverse technology landscape spanning banking, finance, and corporate platforms, bringing together modern QE practices, AI‑driven insights, and deep domain expertise to ensure resilience, accuracy, and performance where it matters most.
If you’re passionate about transforming quality from a checkpoint into a strategic engineering capability, and want to make a visible impact in a complex, regulated environment, this is your moment.
What You’ll Do
- Define and lead Quality Engineering strategy across a large portfolio of enterprise systems (finance, banking, corporate, web platforms).
- Embed automation‑first testing into CI/CD pipelines, covering functional, regression, reconciliation, and interface validation.
- Align QA practices with regulatory frameworks (SOX, DORA, IFRS) and modern delivery models (Agile, DevOps, QA‑Ops).
- Partner with business domain experts to ensure data accuracy, integrity, and financial validation are built into test strategies.
- Design test data and environment strategies for complex financial scenarios (e.g., payments, GL postings, month‑end processes).
- Drive innovation in testing using AI/ML techniques, performance engineering, and resilience validation.
- Elevate engineering maturity through shift‑left/right testing, automation frameworks, and continuous improvement.
Need to Have - Your Essentials
- Strong leadership experience in Quality Engineering / QA within enterprise environments
- Proven experience delivering QE across Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD ecosystems
- Deep knowledge of test automation, frameworks, and quality strategy design
- Experience embedding testing into pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps, Git‑based workflows
- Strong background in financial systems or regulated environments
- Knowledge of frameworks such as SOX, DORA, IFRS, and QA governance alignment
- Experience defining and managing test data, environments, and complex scenarios
- Hands‑on experience in performance, scalability, and resilience testing (e.g., JMeter, k6, Locust)
- Familiarity with chaos engineering / resilience testing approaches
- Strong understanding of branching strategies (GitFlow, Bitbucket, etc.) and quality controls in CI/CD
- Ability to influence stakeholders and embed quality across business and engineering teams
- Excellent communication skills and strategic mindset
Nice to Have
- ISTQB Advanced Test Manager (or equivalent)
- ITIL v3/v4 Foundation or experience aligning QA with service management practices
- Experience applying AI/ML in Quality Engineering (test optimisation, defect prediction, analytics)
- Familiarity with NIST CSF or other cybersecurity frameworks
- Broad exposure to enterprise systems (GL, AP, Treasury, front/back‑office platforms)
- Experience scaling QE practices across large, complex organisations
Why You’ll Love This Role
Because this is more than QA leadership.
This is about redefining how quality is engineered across an entire organisation.
You’ll influence how critical financial systems are validated, how risk is reduced, and how engineering teams deliver with confidence at scale. From AI‑powered testing to resilience engineering, you’ll be at the forefront of modern QE transformation.
If you want ownership, impact, and the opportunity to build a best‑in‑class Quality Engineering capability, this is where you make your mark!
