Job responsibilities

• Designs, develops, and maintains comprehensive automated test frameworks covering UI, API, integration, and end-to-end testing for a complex distributed application architecture
• Creates and executes automated test suites for React-based microfrontend applications, ensuring consistent quality across independently deployable front-end modules and their compositions
• Develops API and service-level test automation for Java/Spring Boot microservices, including the Backend for Frontend (BFF) layer, validating business logic, data transformations, and response contracts
• Architects and implements integration test strategies to validate interactions between microfrontends, BFF services, core backend APIs, and numerous internal and external system dependencies
• Designs and maintains contract testing and mock services to enable reliable testing of external integrations and third-party dependencies without requiring live connections
• Proactively identifies quality risks, test coverage gaps, and patterns in defect data, using these insights to drive improvements to test automation coverage and shift-left testing practices
• Collaborates closely with development teams, product owners, and DevOps engineers to embed quality throughout the SDLC and ensure testability is built into the architecture
• Contributes to software engineering communities of practice and events that explore new and emerging technologies, including test automation frameworks and AI-assisted testing to

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Formal training or certification in software engineering concepts with 3 years of applied experience
• Hands on experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks for complex, distributed applications
• Proficiency in UI test automation using tools such as Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium WebDriver, with specific experience testing React-based applications
• Experience with API test automation using tools such as REST Assured, Postman/Newman, Karate, or similar frameworks for testing Java/Spring Boot services
• Solid programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and/or Java for developing and maintaining test automation code
• Experience testing microfrontend architectures, including module federation, independent deployment validation, and cross-microfrontend integration scenarios
• Understanding of Backend for Frontend (BFF) patterns and experience validating data aggregation, transformation, and orchestration logic
• Proven experience with integration testing strategies for applications with multiple internal and external system dependencies, including message queues, third-party APIs, and legacy systems
• Hands-on experience with contract testing tools such as Pact or Spring Cloud Contract to validate API contracts between services
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and experience integrating automated tests into build and deployment workflows (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline)
• Strong knowledge of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies, including test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD)
   

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Experience with AI-powered testing tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar coding assistants to accelerate test development and maintenance
• Familiarity with AI-driven test generation, self-healing tests, or intelligent test analytics platforms (e.g., Testim, Mabl, Applitools)
• Exposure to AWS services relevant to testing and deployment (CloudWatch, X-Ray, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway)
• Experience with service virtualization and mocking frameworks (WireMock, MockServer, Mountebank) for simulating external dependencies
• Experience with security testing tools and OWASP principles (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning
• Understanding of observability and monitoring to correlate test results with production behavior (Splunk, Datadog, Grafana)

• Experience with database testing and data validation across relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB) databases
