We have been selected by some of the largest hedge funds, private equity firms and brokers to be their partner and are looking for amazing people to join our growing team.

Software Development Engineer in Test (Data & Analytics): Data and Analytics at COMPLY COMPLY is the worlds leading aggregator of financial and regulatory data to support compliance. Our mission is to help financial institutions meet their regulatory obligations with confidence, clarity, and speed. We ingest, process, and enrich vast volumes of complex, high-variance data from hundreds of brokers, data providers and other sources of information across the US and beyond.

The scale, diversity, and importance of this data create unique technical challenges and opportunities for innovative engineers. The COMPLY Data Platform is a strategic initiative at the heart of this mission. It underpins everything from our broker feed ingestion and security master to advanced analytics, AI-driven insights, and future regulatory technologies.

Were building something foundational, and were doing it with a modern, cloud-native architecture thats designed to scale. We're looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to help us build quality into the heart of this platform through automation, tooling, and close collaboration with the engineers delivering it. The Role: This is not a traditional QA role.

As an SDET in Data and Analytics, youll be a core member of the engineering team, responsible for designing and implementing the test automation infrastructure that enables us to move fast and build trustworthy software. Youll work closely with software engineers to integrate test coverage into our development workflows and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that quality is everyone's responsibility, and that its supported by the right tooling and automation. Youll help define what good looks like for testability and automation, and youll partner with engineers to make sure our systems are robust, observable, and continuously verified.

Key Responsibilities: Build and maintain test automation frameworks that support integration, end-to-end, and regression testing. Partner with engineers to design testable systems and incorporate automated tests into their workflows. Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support safe, frequent releases.

Define and champion quality standards across the team including test coverage, reliability, observability, and traceability. Identify gaps in test coverage and propose pragmatic strategies to close them. Provide guidance and coaching to engineers on testing practices, tools, and techniques.

Continuously improve our developer experience by reducing friction and increasing confidence in releases. Essential Criteria: Solid engineering experience and capable of writing clean, maintainable code in a modern programming language. Experience designing and building automated test frameworks (e.g. integration, E2E, API-level).

Familiarity with modern CI/CD tools and integrating tests into build and deploy pipelines. Deep understanding of testing principles, test design, and how to test distributed systems. Youll have a collaborative mindset, and you enjoy helping others improve and raising the quality bar across the team.

Strong communication skills and a drive to simplify complex testing problems. Desirable Criteria: Experience working in data-intensive, cloud-native environments. Familiarity with performance testing, fault injection, and resilience testing.

Exposure to tools like NUnit, Pytest, Playwright, Postman, or similar. Understanding of how to test asynchronous workflows or event-driven systems (e.g. with Temporal.io). Interest in developer tooling, platform engineering, or internal developer platforms (IDPs).
