• Validate end to end functional flows covering Assets and Liabilities tracks, including account opening, loan origination, deposits, and payment processing where applicable
• Build, extend, and maintain automated test suites using Selenium with Java or Playwright with Node.js
• Perform in sprint automation testing aligned with Agile delivery cycles, ensuring test coverage keeps pace with development velocity
• Validate SOAP and REST Finacle APIs as part of the automation framework, including request and response verification against expected business logic
• Conduct integration testing across upstream and downstream systems connected to Finacle

• Prepare test summary reports, coverage metrics, and defect analysis for stakeholders
• Support UAT cycles and coordinate with business users to validate real world banking scenarios

Required Skills

• 6+ years of Finacle testing experience, preferably on Finacle 11X, with demonstrated exposure to live banking environments
• Hands on experience across CRM, Core Banking, and Payments modules, not just one
• Solid understanding of Assets and Liabilities banking domain, including product level knowledge of loans, deposits, and related workflows
• Proficiency in Selenium with Java or Playwright with Node.js, with the ability to build frameworks, not just execute existing scripts
• Working knowledge of FIXML message structures and SQL for backend data validation
• Understanding of Agile and Scrum delivery methodology
• Strong defect documentation and root cause analysis skills

Preferred Skills

• Prior experience in Finacle implementation or migration testing projects
• Knowledge of Finacle scripting (Finacle Script or similar) and log validation techniques
• Exposure to CI or CD pipelines for automated test execution
• Familiarity with performance or load testing tools is a plus

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 6+ years of experience in software testing, with substantial time specifically on Finacle
• Banking or fintech domain experience strongly preferred
