About this role
At a glance Want to work on technology where speed, reliability and quality really matter? Join our FX Engineering team and work on the technology behind our Foreign Exchange trading business. This is a senior engineering role with real impact: the systems you help improve are used every day by our trading and sales teams. As Software Quality Lead, you get the freedom to shape how we approach quality across our FX technology landscape. You will work with engineers, traders and product managers to make our systems easier to test, safer to change and more reliable in productionThis is not a traditional testing role where you simply validate software at the end of the development process. We want to build quality into engineering from the start. You will help us improve test automation, end-to-end testing, CI/CD and release practices. And because our platform combines our own technology with integrations and SaaS solutions, there are plenty of interesting engineering challenges to solve. You don't have to do this alone. You will work with experienced engineers and business specialists, while having the opportunity to introduce your own ideas, tools and ways of working. In short: a senior role for someone who enjoys technology, likes solving complex problems and wants the freedom to make things better. Your job Your goal is simple: help us deliver changes faster and with confidence. You will take the lead on quality engineering across our FX platform, while staying close enough to the technology to understand what really happens in production. You will: * Shape and improve our approach to quality engineering and testing. * Work directly with engineers, traders and product managers on new functionality. * Turn business requirements into clear acceptance criteria and smart test scenarios. * Own end-to-end testing across applications, integrations and SaaS platforms. * Identify edge cases and risks before they become production issues. * Increase test automation using tools such as Playwright, Selenium or similar frameworks. * Bring automated testing and quality controls further into our CI/CD pipelines. * Improve regression testing and release confidence. * Help assess the impact of vendor and platform changes on our trading environment. * Be involved in production and incident management as part of our DevOps way of working. * Share your experience with other engineers and help the team develop its quality engineering capabilities. Most importantly, you will have room to challenge how we work today. If something can be automated, simplified or done better, we want you to tell us and help us change it. Why this role is interesting For an experienced engineer, this role offers an unusual combination. * Complex technology You are working in a connected landscape of trading applications, integrations, APIs and third-party platforms. Small changes can have an impact across an entire trading flow, which makes engineering quality genuinely interesting. * Close to the business You won't be several layers removed from the people using your technology. You will work directly with traders, sales colleagues and product managers and see how your work improves their day-to-day processes. * Real engineering influence We are actively improving our engineering and quality practices. That means you are not joining an environment where everything has already been decided. You can influence our choices around automation, testing, CI/CD and releases. * Senior-level ownership We are looking for someone who sees a problem and wants to solve it. You will have the space to bring your experience, challenge existing approaches and help set the direction. * A modern DevOps mindset Quality is not the responsibility of one test team at the end of a project. It is part of engineering. Development, testing, deployment and production reliability belong together. Working environment You will join a technology-focused environment where engineers work closely with the FX trading business. We combine the pace and technical challenges of Financial Markets with the scale and opportunities of a large organisation. The role is hybrid, with three days per week in the office in Amstelveen. This is especially valuable in this team because you'll regularly collaborate directly with engineers, traders and other colleagues involved in the trading platform. Your profile We are primarily looking for an experienced engineer with a strong quality mindset. You don't need to tick every box. If you have worked in a complex engineering environment and recognise yourself in most of the description below, we would like to hear from you. You probably bring experience in several of these areas: * Quality Engineering, Test Automation, Software Engineering or a similar senior technical role. * Building or improving automated testing frameworks. * End-to-end, integration, functional and regression testing. * Tools such as Playwright, Selenium or comparable technologies. * CI/CD, DevOps and modern software delivery practices. * Working with distributed systems, integrations, APIs or SaaS platforms. * Production support, incident management and release processes. * Working directly with business stakeholders to understand what software actually needs to do. Experience in Financial Markets, trading technology or another complex financial environment is a strong advantage. Knowledge of FX, pricing, risk management, trade execution or post-trade processes is great to have, but we are also interested in senior engineers who bring relevant experience from other complex technology environments. We are offering We believe it is important to be a good employer. Joining us means stepping into a role with impact, supported by excellent employment conditions that foster your job satisfaction, development, and wellbeing. In addition, we offer: * An attractive gross monthly salary based on a 36-hour work week, including holiday allowanceand a flexible benefit budget. * An excellent pension scheme, ensuring that you are well prepared for the future. * Flexibility in working: working from home is possible in consultation with your team and depending on your role. We will provide an ergonomic home office setup for you. * Plenty of room for relaxation with five weeks of vacation per year, supplemented by two mandatory days off. You can also purchase up to four additional weeks of vacation annually. * Five “Banking for better days”: extra days off that you can use for personal development or volunteer work. * Personal development is key: you receive a development budget of €1,000 per year, which can accumulate up to €3,000. * An annual public transport pass with free public transportation throughout the Netherlands for both business and private use.
