Software Tester (Investment Systems) - Remote - R80K per month

E-Merge IT Recruitment

Date: 4 weeks ago
City: Johannesburg, Gauteng
Contract type: Full time
Remote

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
