QA Engineer I

dv01 is lifting the curtain on the largest financial market in the world: structured finance.

You’ll help ensure our products meet high standards by identifying what needs to be tested, executing tests, and collaborating across teams. This role is a great opportunity to grow your skills in testing, automation, and structured finance.

You Will:

• Champion quality across the board. Partner with engineers, product managers, and project managers within an agile team to uphold product quality and reinforce QA best practices and processes. Accurately report and track issues and bugs.
• Collaborate in an agile environment. Work closely with your team during sprint planning to define test coverage and execute meaningful test cases aligned with business goals. Interpreting and refining acceptance criteria to ensure it matches the project's goals, and identify potential edge cases or gaps.
• Work with state-of-the-art technology. Gain hands-on experience with modern technologies like Cypress, JavaScript, React, Scala, and GraphQL. These experiences will help build a strong technical foundation.
• Work with senior level mentors. Learn, grow, and gain experience from the mentorship of a small Senior concentrated group of Quality Engineers.
• Expand your structured finance knowledge. You’ll gain exposure to many facets of the consumer lending, structured credit, ABS, and MBS spaces. You’ll be working with information from a variety of sources (loan-level transaction data, deal documents, trustee reporting, internal validations outputs, etc.) that all flow into dv01's wide range of client offerings.
• Support test automation initiatives. Partner with our SDET team to define automation scope, suggest high-value scenarios, and review automated test contributions.

You Are:

• Grounded in QA fundamentals. You have 1–2 years of experience in QA and a solid understanding of different testing methods (e.g., black box, exploratory, boundary testing) and when to apply them.
• Unafraid of validating messy processes. You enjoy finding errors in existing processes and helping scope out solutions, from data logic errors to product run errors.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. Once you identify inconsistencies, you are meticulous about describing the problem in detail, looping in appropriate parties to explore solutions and communicating results to stakeholders. You're confident in writing clear bug reports and speaking up to senior engineers in finding solutions.
• Familiar with front-end and back-end. You have familiarity with front-end and back-end systems, including APIs and working knowledge of SQL databases, giving you confidence in testing across layers.
