About the project

• Your team
• Exposure calculates and manage IG's risk from client trading; it provides data for our trading desks, quants, and risk teams. It initiates orders to automatically hedge IG's risk in the market.
• Your role in the Team's Success
• Your primary responsibility developing and extending our automated test suite to cover an existing manually regression suite. This suite will be used by developers on their own machines to validate changes to the complex system they maintain and be part of the delivery pipeline. The key goal is to reduce the delivery time of software, specifically the manual testing, from days down to minutes.

Your responsibilities

• Deep dive into our Exposure system and migrate our existing manual regression suite into a python-based automated regression which runs in docker
• Work with the existing QAs, ask questions, and ensure the manual regression is understood and migrated
• Adapt the automation suite itself, where needed, to support and mock out external dependencies so the test suite can run in isolation without any other systems or existing environments
• Ensure the automated suite runs reliably and promptly on both developers machines and as part of our giblab pipeline
