Description
IO Global is searching for a Software Test Engineer (Automation) to join its Lightwallet team.

- Reviewing and analysing system specifications
- Designing and creating test conditions and scripts to address business and technical use cases
- Using existing tools and techniques to execute test cases and build/script new tools for testing/validation
- Executing and analyzing automation test results
- Troubleshooting and triaging issues with various teams to help identify and resolve root causes
- Documenting, tracking and escalating issues as appropriate
- Supporting production deployment of applications and carrying out validation testing during the off-hours maintenance windows
