Job

QA Engineer | Amsterdam

About Us

Provable is modernizing decades old infrastructure in the traditional capital markets by bringing together the brightest minds in engineering and finance. Our two teams, based in Amsterdam and New York, work hand in hand to build, enhance, and operate an SEC Registered Alternative Trading System (ATS) for the $8TN+ Securities Finance Market that underpins the global financial system.

Our cloud-native platform has been built entirely in house from scratch to enhance and replace old technology stacks composed of disparate, costly, and inefficient systems. We work closely with the largest clearing house in the world, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (the DTCC), and some of the most prominent financial institutions across the globe. Our mission is to correct a long broken market structure by providing a neutral, value driven, full scope offering to market participants with varying needs and requirements. Our pragmatic approach to engineering is at the heart of what we do, and we maintain the highest standards of integrity, quality of work, and transparency in all that we do. We are a small, but growing team looking for hard working, prideful, and kind individuals to help us drive our mission forward.
