Let’s be clear upfront.

If you don’t understand how investment systems actually work — this role is not for you.

This is a serious testing environment within a high-performance financial platform, and they’re looking for a Software Tester who can think beyond test cases and understand the data, logic, and financial impact behind what they’re testing.

What’s non-negotiable

  • University degree (and you performed well)
  • Strong analytical ability (maths, logic, problem solving)
  • Experience in a formal testing environment
  • Solid experience in manual and/or automated testing

And critically:

  • Hands-on experience in the investment / financial domain, such as:
  • Asset / fund management platforms
  • Trading or order management systems
  • Portfolio accounting & performance calculations
  • Pricing, valuations, or financial instruments

No exposure to this? This won’t land.

What you’ll actually be doing

  • Deep manual testing (not surface-level clicking)
  • Validating financial data, calculations, and outputs
  • Reviewing automated test coverage (±19,000 tests running in CI)
  • Ensuring developers have properly covered logic in automation
  • Identifying where financial logic can break — before it does

The profile that works here

  • Properly sharp — not average
  • Detail-obsessed but still pragmatic
  • Comfortable challenging developers
  • Understands that in finance, precision isn’t optional

The details

  • Location: Fully Remote (South Africa)
  • Salary: R80K per month

  • Type: Permanent / Contract
