Role Overview

We are looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed QA Automation Engineer with hands-on Finacle 11x testing experience and strong automation skills. This is not a manual-testing-with-a-sprinkle-of-automation role. You will own test automation end-to-end across Finacle core banking modules, interfaces, and customizations. If you've only clicked through Finacle screens and called it testing, this isn't for you.

Mandatory Requirements

Minimum 5 years of QA/Testing experience, with at least 3 years specifically on Finacle Core Banking (Infosys/Edgeverve)
Hands-on experience on Finacle 11x — functional flows, customization layers, and module behaviour
Proficiency in one of the following automation stacks (not familiarity — actual delivery experience):

Selenium + Java (TestNG/JUnit, Maven/Gradle, Page Object Model)
Playwright + Node.js (TypeScript preferred, async/await patterns, fixture management)

Solid Banking domain knowledge — you understand what you're testing, not just how to test it
Experience testing Finacle Interfaces — Connect 24, Finacle Integrator, Custom & Product APIs

Testing Scope — What You'll Actually Do

Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks for Finacle functional and regression testing
Test Finacle customizations — custom menus, batch jobs, MRT/Jasper reports, FI configurations, EOD/BOD processes
Validate Finacle integrations — API-level testing of inbound/outbound interfaces using tools like Postman, REST-assured, or Playwright's API testing layer
Write and execute SQL/PL/SQL validation scripts against Oracle DB for backend data verification
Build and maintain regression suites that can be triggered across release cycles without manual intervention
Perform defect triage with development and functional teams — you need to speak both languages
Contribute to test strategy, test plans, and UAT support directly with banking clients

Technical Skills

Automation: Selenium + Java or Playwright + Node.js — framework ownership, not just script execution
Core Banking Testing: Finacle 11x modules — Deposits, Loans, GL, Payments, CRM, Admin (FINFADM/SSOADM)
Database: Oracle SQL, PL/SQL — writing validation queries, checking stored procedures, triggers
API Testing: REST/SOAP interface validation; Finacle Connect 24 / Finacle Integrator flows
Scripting: Unix shell scripting for test execution, log analysis, environment setup
CI/CD Integration: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent — automation must run in pipelines, not just locally
Test Management: JIRA, Zephyr, ALM, or similar

Functional Knowledge

Core banking functional flows: account lifecycle, transactions, interest processing, fee structures, EOD/BOD
Finacle CRM and Admin module testing
Regulatory and compliance-aware testing mindset (banking context)
Agile/Scrum delivery — sprint-based testing cycles, story-level acceptance criteria
Finacle certification from Infosys is a strong advantage

Nice to Have

ISTQB certification (Foundation or Advanced)
Experience with performance testing tools (JMeter/Gatling) on Finacle environments
Exposure to Finacle on cloud/containerised deployments
Prior experience working in a banking client-facing delivery role
