QA Engineer — CTRM Platform
Role Overview
A hands-on QA engineer owning the quality of our CTRM platform end to end: deciding what has to be tested, building the automation, finding the defects that matter and making sure they stay fixed.
You work directly with backend engineers, the product manager, the data team, and the traders and finance users who will run their business on the system — no account manager in between.
Agents write most of the code here.
That makes testing more important, not less: the team ships quickly, and a large part of quality now depends on independent verification that the system does what the business needs, not what the code happens to do.
What the work looks like
The system we are building exists so that anyone involved in a deal can reconstruct the P&L between any two points of the chain, at any moment, on an agreed and versioned allocation basis.
A defect here is rarely a broken button.
It is a pricing formula averaged over the wrong period, a provisional cost that is never replaced by the actual, a figure that changes when someone reruns last month, or an FX rate applied on the wrong date.
Numbers from this system feed invoices, hedges and shareholder reporting.

Full Job Posting
Requirements
- 4+ years in QA or software testing, with ownership of test strategy and automation on a business-critical product
- Strong test automation in Python (pytest or similar) or another mainstream language; API testing; UI automation with Playwright, Cypress or similar
- Good SQL and the ability to test data directly: write queries to check a calculation, find a population mismatch, prove a number wrong
- Experience testing calculation-heavy or financial systems — trading, banking, payments, billing, ERP or accounting. You think in edge cases: rounding, dates and time zones, currencies, partial quantities, reversals and corrections
- Understanding of CI/CD and of where tests belong in it
- Working with coding agents, seriously. You use agents to write tests and tooling, and you know how they fail: tests that assert what the code does rather than what it should do, mocks that hide the real behaviour, coverage that looks high and checks nothing. We hire for verification habits, not speed
- Precise written communication: defect reports a developer can reproduce on the first attempt, and test results a manager can act on
- English sufficient to present findings and defend a release decision
- Professional proficiency in Russian
Nice to have
- Experience with CTRM/ETRM systems or energy or commodity trading — deal lifecycle, pricing formulas, invoicing, PL
- Performance and load testing
- Property-based or data-driven testing for financial calculations
- Experience setting up a QA function or test framework from scratch in a growing team
