Quality Assurance Intern

We’re Building the Future of Capital Markets;

‍enabling entrepreneurship, job creation, financial inclusion, and economic resilience

As Asia's largest licensed digital securities exchange for alternative investments, Alta is at the forefront of building critical capital market infrastructure. We believe that access to capital markets are pivotal in all economies, we recognize that our role in building this critical infrastructure goes beyond facilitating trades; it paves the way for entrepreneurship, job creation, financial inclusion, and economic resilience, fostering a brighter future for emerging markets and economies.

Empowering Private Markets: Through our Digital Exchange, we enable the tokenization and digital custody of alternative assets. This end-to-end solution simplifies and expedites the trading of smaller asset blocks, ultimately facilitating access and liquidity in private markets.

Innovative Financial Ecosystem: Our journey has seen us transition from securities trading and distribution of comprehensive products, including equities, private credit, funds, and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) (representing Real World Assets ("RWA") like whiskies, wines, art, watches, and real estate) to include fund management and digital custody services.

As the only integrated securities exchange, brokerage, and fund management group with the necessary regulatory licenses and a proven track record in Southeast Asia, we are actively exploring new channels and partnerships to extend our impact to entrepreneurs and investors globally.

Established in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, Alta operates offices globally. We welcome energetic and creative individuals to be part of this ambitious journey with us.

About The Role

As a QA Intern at Alta you’ll be helping to drive the coverage, efficiency and effectiveness of our testing across all of the platforms in our private markets ecosystem. Rather than simply writing test code, you’ll be deeply and collaboratively integrated with your peers in engineering, product and design to promote and advise on the “QA mindset", ensuring that everyone on the team is thinking about key edge cases from planning through to release.

We’re a supportive, social, and entrepreneurial team of former investment bankers, technologists and strategists. Clear, honest communication is key to everything we do.

The sorts of things you’ll be doing:

• Working both independently and with our small but growing QA team to design and implement test cases feature-by-feature
• Reviewing all documents (e.g. business requirements, functional specifications and technical specifications) and understand what need to be tested
• Creating, updating and maintaining comprehensive test documentation based on requirements to ensure reliable product delivery
• Perform manual software testing
• Identify, record, document thoroughly and track bugs
• Expressing your ideas, opinions and feedback on our tech stack, tooling and culture to ensure we’re always improving as a technology team and as a company

As our QA Intern, we know you’ll be doing significant learning on the job. That said, we’re hoping from Day 1 you’ll bring:

• Final year students or fresh graduates, preferably from Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
• Good communication, strong logic and analysis skills
• Attention to detail
• Self-starter, able to take the initiative and able to spot and resolve issues promptly

Beyond the technology, we also hope you’ve got some interest in:

• Financial services, particularly the investment space
• An appreciation for experimentation and designing systems/processes that accommodate business and technical agility
• Food! We talk about it a lot :)

As a close-knit, social team we generally prefer to work together in person at one of our offices. That said, we provide a flexible working environment that is adaptable to periods of working from home.

Thanks for reading. We're looking forward to meeting you!
