Let's do:
Skills
- Strong hands‑on Core Java programming experience, demonstrated through automation framework development — not just test scripting. Proven ability to apply Core Java concepts in real automation code, including:
- Object‑Oriented Programming (inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation)
- Java Collections (List, Map, Set)
- Exception handling
- Basic concurrency / multithreading concepts
- Deep hands‑on experience with Selenium WebDriver, including:
- Writing and maintaining Page Objects
- Effective locator strategies (XPath, CSS)
- Synchronization and test stability best practices
- Experience completing hands‑on Java and Selenium coding exercises, including live technical interviews
- Hands‑on experience with TestNG and/or JUnit, Maven/Gradle, Git, and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with API testing using Rest Assured and SQL‑based backend validation
- Strong understanding of software testing methodologies and TDD/BDD principles
- Strong hands‑on Core Java programming experience, demonstrated through automation framework development — not just test scripting. Proven ability to apply Core Java concepts in real automation code, including:
- with "Nice to have:" and nested list. Add after required skills:
- Nice to have:
- Exposure to cloud environments and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter
- Experience working in Agile / DevOps environments with continuous integration and delivery
Now Pay:
saying "Nice to have:" but that's okay. Pay: we have "Pay And Benefits" section with details: Competitive compensation, health insurance, pension, PTO, flexible/hybrid model. So we need Pay and Benefits sections? The instruction says include Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state Pay And Benefits. So we should have a
Pay
andBenefits
? Or combine? The list includes both Pay and Benefits as separate possible headings. We could make a Pay section with compensation details, and Benefits section with health, pension, PTO, flexible/hybrid. However the posting lumps them together under "Pay And Benefits". We could split: Pay: "Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive". Benefits: health insurance, life insurance, well-being benefits, pension/retirement, PTO, personal/family care, leaves, flexible/hybrid model. That seems reasonable. Schedule: we have flexible/hybrid model details. Could go under Schedule heading. But we already used that info in Benefits. Might be better to put schedule under Schedule heading. The posting says: "DTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee)." That's schedule info. So we should have a Schedule section. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We must not include empty sections. Ensure each has substantive content. Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation request, etc. Also remove "We are an equal opportunity employer..." lines. Also remove "Please contact us to request accommodation." Also remove "The salary range is indicative..." maybe keep? It's about salary range indicative; it's part of Pay? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about salary determination. Could keep under Pay. But it's generic; still it's part of posting. We'll keep. Also remove duplicated lines: none. Now craft HTML. Structure:About the role
Are you ready to make an impact at DTCC? Do you want to work on innovative projects, collaborate with a dynamic and supportive team, and receive investment in your professional development? At DTCC, we are at the forefront of innovation in the financial markets. We are committed to helping our employees grow and succeed. We believe that you have the skills and drive to make a real impact. We foster a thriving internal community and are committed to creating a workplace that looks like the world that we serve. The Information Technology group delivers secure, reliable technology solutions that enable DTCC to be the trusted infrastructure of the global capital markets. The team delivers high-quality information through activities that include development of essential, building infrastructure capabilities to meet client needs and implementing data standards and governance. The Impact You Will Have in This Role As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will play a critical role in modernizing Java‑based, cloud‑ready platforms that support DTCC’s financial risk management and daily settlement operations. You will be embedded within a business‑aligned development squad and work at the center of DTCC’s multi‑year enterprise modernization program (through 2028), contributing directly to the stability, resilience, and integrity of the clearing ecosystem. In this role, you will design, build, and own engineering‑grade test automation frameworks that ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of mission‑critical systems. You will partner closely with software engineers, architects, product managers, and platform teams to embed quality throughout the SDLC, influence technical direction, and support the transition from legacy platforms to scalable, resilient, cloud‑ready architectures. This is a hands‑on, code‑driven role requiring strong Core Java programming skills and deep Selenium automation expertise. You will actively develop automation frameworks, write reusable Java components, and solve complex testing and system‑stability challenges across UI, API, and backend layers. This is not a manual QA or scripting‑only position—it is a technical leadership role focused on building scalable automation solutions and driving engineering excellence at enterprise scale.
But we need to avoid repeating "The Impact You Will Have in This Role" as heading; we can just keep as paragraph. Now Responsibilities:Responsibilities
