Software Tester (Investment Systems) - Remote - R80K per month
E-Merge IT Recruitment
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
