You’ll lead the PriceStream QA team in Bangkok, owning the test strategy for the FX pricing and rate-streaming systems that power our multi-dealer platform, while staying hands-on in the automation.
What Awaits You:

- Participate in production deployments and post-release validation.
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) of production issues and drive corrective and preventive actions.
- Architect, develop, and maintain robust automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, Playwright, Cucumber-JVM, SQL, and Maven.
- Define and lead the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol test strategy across pricing, quote, and order workflows.
- Lead server-side, API, and integration testing for the PriceStream platform.
- Drive infrastructure and deployment testing, including infra validation on AWS (Viking) cloud environments.
- Lead and execute comprehensive QA processes, including functional, regression, API, and database testing.
- Lead performance testing (load, stress, fault tolerance) on latency-critical pricing and distribution paths.
- Mentor and grow QA engineers, providing technical leadership, code review, and thought leadership on automation best practice.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, architects, and developers in an Agile environment, influencing design for testability.
- Utilize Docker and Kubernetes for test environment setup and automation.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability.
- Champion and implement a shift left approach, embedding quality early in the development lifecycle.
Your Winning Qualities:
- 8+ years of experience in QA automation, including team or technical leadership.
- Strong knowledge of QA processes and best practices, with a track record of defining them.
- Hands-on experience with Java, Selenium, Playwright, Cucumber-JVM, SQL, and Maven.
- Experience with API, GUI, and database testing.
- Proven experience owning testing delivery and stakeholder management across Technical Program Management, development, DevOps, infrastructure, and business teams.
- Experience authoring and maintaining test strategy, test plans, and test closure reports.
- Experience supporting production deployments and leading root cause analysis of production issues.
- Proficient with AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex), and able to champion them to enhance QA and automation productivity across the team.
- Deep hands-on experience testing the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol.
- Strong server-side / backend and integration testing expertise.
- Experience leading infrastructure testing and working with AWS (Viking) cloud environments.
- Good understanding of Docker and Kubernetes.
- In-depth understanding of technical architecture, test strategy implementation, and maintaining test plans.
- Proven ability to architect automation frameworks from the ground up.
- Ability to build mocks and simulator components for automation, enabling robust and isolated test environments.
