Job Description:
Job Title Test and DevOps Automation Engineer – Fixed Income Pricing and Analytics
Location London
Corporate Title Assistant Vice President
You will play a key role in transforming how we test, deploy and run technology for Rates and Credit Fixed Income trading. As part of a multi-year platform modernisation programme, you'll build the automation and manage the cloud infrastructure that enable teams to deliver real-time pricing and analytics applications with greater speed, reliability and confidence.
This is a hands-on engineering role spanning test automation, DevOps and cloud infrastructure management. You'll automate QA workflows, modernise build and deployment pipelines, and help manage our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) estate and Kubernetes environments. Working with developers, QA colleagues and platform teams, you'll improve deployment and run processes iteratively, using AI-assisted tools to make engineering and operations more effective.
What we’ll offer you
A healthy, engaged and well-supported workforce are better equipped to do their best work and, more importantly, enjoy their lives inside and outside the workplace. That’s why we are committed to providing an environment with your development and wellbeing at its centre.
You can expect:
- Hybrid Working - we understand that employee expectations and preferences are changing. We have implemented a model that enables eligible employees to work remotely for a part of their working time and reach a working pattern that works for them
- Competitive salary and non-contributory pension
- 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional days
- Life Assurance and Private Healthcare for you and your family
- A range of flexible benefits including Retail Discounts, a Bike4Work scheme and Gym benefits
- The opportunity to support a wide ranging CSR programme + 2 days’ volunteering leave per year
Your key responsibilities
- Automate high-value QA workflows across APIs, event-driven services and user interfaces, building maintainable regression, integration and end-to-end tests
- Own and modernise CI/CD pipelines, embedding automated tests and quality gates, containerising applications and automating repeatable deployments, releases and rollbacks
- Manage and evolve GCP infrastructure and Kubernetes environments across development, test and production, automating provisioning and configuration through infrastructure as code
- Improve service reliability through monitoring, alerting, operational runbooks and incident investigation, working with platform teams on upgrades, security, resilience, capacity and cloud cost management
- Automate test environment configuration and test data preparation, using service simulation where appropriate to make testing reliable and reproducible
- Work with developers and QA colleagues to prioritise coverage by business risk, investigate failures, reduce flaky tests and make performance testing part of delivery, and apply AI-assisted development and testing tools to accelerate automation and failure analysis, validating outputs and following data protection and security requirements
Your skills and experience
- Software engineering and test automation: strong coding skills in Java, Python or TypeScript, with experience building automated API and UI tests using frameworks such as JUnit, pytest or Playwright. You write maintainable, version-controlled code and can diagnose failures across application layers
- CI/CD and containerisation: experience building pipelines with tools such as TeamCity, Jenkins or GitHub Actions, packaging applications with Docker and deploying to Kubernetes using tools such as Helm. You understand artefact management, deployment strategies and rollback
- Cloud infrastructure and automation: practical experience managing GCP services and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), or comparable cloud platforms, with confidence in Linux, scripting and infrastructure as code using tools such as Terraform. You understand cloud networking, identity and access management, secrets and environment configuration
- Operational reliability: experience running cloud-hosted services, troubleshooting infrastructure and application failures, and using logs, metrics and alerts to improve reliability. You understand patching, upgrades, capacity planning, recovery and cost optimisation
- Quality engineering: experience with test design, test data management and testing distributed, asynchronous systems. You can distinguish product defects from test or environment issues and address flaky tests. SQL and performance testing experience are desirable
- AI-assisted engineering and collaboration: hands-on experience using AI coding assistants or agentic tools, with sound judgement about their limitations, output quality and handling of sensitive information. You work collaboratively in Agile teams and turn recurring manual work into practical automation. Financial markets experience is desirable, not essential
- Proven ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, optimise workflows to solve business problems, while applying critical judgment to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI outputs
