QA Automation Engineer - Finacle Core Banking

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
