• Analyze CAP bundles and classify RSECS into Enhancements, Regulatory, and Corrections; select the appropriate test method (SCRIPT, FFPP, or FFPP-possible).
• Determine client usage of impacted processes (homegrown vs. base code) and recommend whether changes are applied, commented, or excluded; define regression scope accordingly.
• Plan and execute tests when incoming fixes differ from client’s prior implementation (not line-for-line).
• Author and run manual scripts (test plans) in Quality Center for AF batch and online components—covering calculations, error handling, cross-screen integrity, end-of-term scenarios, and interface impacts.
• Run FFPP by replaying a production day’s files through batch; reconcile output deltas to the applicable RSECS and document explanations.
• Plan, execute, and document test enhancements alongside base changes—covering small improvements and client custom/homegrown modules to ensure compatibility and stability.
• Coordinate business review for Regulatory items and relevant Enhancements; capture approvals and traceability to test results and release notes.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation linking RSECS → scripts → defects → sign-offs; follow AHM Test Management and change control practices.
• Identify, record, and communicate defects; drive root-cause analysis and escalation; partner with developers and operations to harden batch schedules and interfaces.
• Curate test data (batch input files, accounts) and manage credentials/environments for mainframe AF testing.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science/Information Technology or equivalent experience.
• 3-5+ years of mainframe QA/testing across batch, online, and interfaces in financial services, preferably automotive finance.
• Hands‑on with CAP practices: RSECS analysis, QC/ALM script authoring, FFPP execution, and planning of test enhancements for homegrown modules.
• Proficiency in mainframe job control, batch scheduling, and data/file comparison tooling; familiarity with account servicing life cycle.
• Experience validating client custom/homegrown modules and minor enhancements alongside base changes.
• Defect management, reporting, and root‑cause analysis; ability to communicate technical findings clearly to business stakeholders.
• Positive attitude toward understanding and navigating highly complex systems and processes.
• Discipline with change control, traceability, and audit readiness.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Other standard benefits as applicable
