Senior Managing ConsultantJob Description

Location: Zurich
The Role
We are looking for a senior, autonomous Non-Functional Test Lead to take end-to-end ownership of NFT across critical banking platforms. You will not just execute tests—you will define the strategy, challenge technical and business stakeholders, and drive non-functional readiness from requirements through to go-live with minimal supervision.
What You Will Own
- Challenge architects, product owners, and engineering leads to define measurable NFRs (SLIs/SLOs), manage conflicting priorities, and sign off on operational readiness
- End-to-End NFT Strategy: Design and drive performance, resilience, security, accessibility, and operability testing across the full stack (client/browser, APIs, IAM, proxies/WAF, core banking, and databases)
- Lead deep-dive bottleneck and failure analysis using logs, metrics, and traces, translating technical findings into clear business risks and actionable decisions
- Test-as-Code & CI/CD Integration: Embed reproducible NFR checks, quality gates, and automated harnesses (Java or TypeScript) into CI/CD pipelines, backed by full traceability and evidence in Jira/Xray
- Track record of independently driving complex NFT streams in large-scale banking transformations or platform modernisations. You are comfortable pushing back on senior stakeholders and owning outcomes
- Solid understanding of core banking processes, digital channels, and enterprise integration architectures
- Strong hands-on background across performance/load (stress, soak, capacity), resilience (fault-injection, timeouts/retries), test-focused security (OWASP Top 10, authN/authZ), WCAG basics, and observability
- Solid proficiency in Java or TypeScript (Python is a plus) to build test utilities and maintain Test-as-Code assets, though your primary value is strategic leadership and architectural oversight, not purely scripting
