Description:

Working closely with other QA members, Development, and stakeholders

Potentially participating in a scrum team

2-5 years' testing experience in information services/technology

Proficiency with basic SQL queries

Experience working in a Microsoft environment; TFS and Visual Studio experience a plus

Familiarity with testing web-based applications; SaaS a plus

Experience with bug tracking systems, particularly TFS

Strong written and verbal communication skills Experience with the following would be a plus:

Financial services

Agile methodology

.NET, and/or JavaScript

We are not your typical financial services firm. For starters, we're a fast-growing company with 30 percent of our company headcount in technology. We've been recognized as a Best Place to Work 28 times-and counting-and Computerworld has ranked us highly nationwide for the past eight years as one of the best places to work in IT-and for good reason. We think and have fun like a startup (bocce tournament, annual turkey fry, summer boat cruise, etc.), yet have the financial stability to offer you the best training and technology money can buy. Conveniently located on the commuter rail near the intersection of Route 95 and the Mass Pike, we're accessible from anywhere-and away from the congestion of a downtown commute.
