About GoCharting

GoCharting is a web-native charting and trading platform. Traders use professional orderflow tools — footprint charts, volume and market profile, cumulative delta, DOM trading — to read the market and place orders through their broker, all in the browser. Our users are active traders in India, the US and around the world.

The Role

You will own the quality gate that every release of GoCharting's terminal and apps passes before it reaches traders, and you will test and write automation yourself while you lead a small QA team. The role is full-time and in person in our Chennai office, and it reports to the Engineering Manager for Client Engineering. Every release needs one accountable owner of what "ready to ship" means, and that is you. At 12 months, no release should reach production without your sign-off, and the team should trust the checks behind it.

What you'll do

  • Own the release gate — define what must pass before a release ships, run the sign-off, and stop a release that fails it
  • Test and automate yourself — write and maintain end-to-end and regression automation for the web terminal and for APIs
  • Lead and coach the QA team — assign work, review test plans and automation, and raise each engineer's standard
  • Run quality checks in CI — keep automated tests as required checks on merges and releases, fast and reliable
  • Triage defects — set severity with product and engineering, and track each one to a verified fix
  • Report quality plainly — publish a weekly view of defects found, escaped and fixed

What we're looking for

Must-haves:

  • 6+ years in QA or test automation on production web applications
  • Hands-on automation code with Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, written by you
  • Has owned a release gate or release sign-off for a production web application
  • Has led or mentored other QA engineers
  • Has run automated tests as required checks in a CI pipeline, for example GitHub Actions
  • In person in our Chennai office, 5 days a week

Nice-to-haves:

  • Testing real-time or data-dense applications, such as WebSocket feeds or live charts (adds the ability to test our core risk)
  • API and contract testing for REST and WebSocket services (adds coverage below the UI)
  • Performance and load testing with k6, JMeter or similar (adds confidence under market-open load)
  • Trading, fintech or market-data testing (adds speed in learning our domain)
  • Mobile app testing for iOS and Android (adds coverage of the app release)
