Principal, Quality Eng; Data & Analytics

In this role you will lead Quality Engineering across critical Data & Analytics platforms, embedding QA into design and delivery at scale. You will shape a strategic QE capability in a regulated financial environment, aligning across data, integration, and reporting to ensure accuracy, resilience and performance. You’ll drive AI-powered testing, automation-first approaches, and cross-functional collaboration to elevate testing as a core engineering discipline. This is a chance to impact how financial systems are validated and trusted at scale.
