The Impact You Will Have in This Role
As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will play a critical role in modernizing Java‑based, cloud‑ready platforms that support DTCC's financial risk management and daily settlement operations. You will be embedded within a business‑aligned development squad and work at the center of DTCC's multi‑year enterprise modernization program (through 2028), contributing directly to the stability, resilience, and integrity of the clearing ecosystem.
In this role, you will design, build, and own engineering‑grade test automation frameworks that ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of mission‑critical systems. You will partner closely with software engineers, architects, product managers, and platform teams to embed quality throughout the SDLC, influence technical direction, and support the transition from legacy platforms to scalable, resilient, cloud‑ready architectures.
This is a hands‑on, code‑driven role requiring strong Core Java programming skills and deep Selenium automation expertise. You will actively develop automation frameworks, write reusable Java components, and solve complex testing and system‑stability challenges across UI, API, and backend layers. This is not a manual QA or scripting‑only position-it is a technical leadership role focused on building scalable automation solutions and driving engineering excellence at enterprise scale.
Your Primary Responsibilities:
