Additional Comments:
Key Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks for testing gRPC-based APIs and Protobuf message structures. Implement performance and load testing strategies using tools like ghz, k6, and Locust to ensure low latency and high throughput. Perform contract testing using Pact to validate API interactions between microservices. Use grpcurl and similar tools for gRPC endpoint validation, debugging, and smoke testing. Validate serialization/deserialization of Protobuf messages and ensure compatibility across services. Plan and execute functional, regression, and integration testing for APIs and batch processing workflows. Automate testing for AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS/Fargate, SQS, DynamoDB) and distributed systems. Collaborate with development teams working on Golang or Spring Boot to align test strategies with backend architecture. Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives) and contribute to QA best practices. Document test plans, test cases, and performance benchmarks thoroughly. Identify, log, and track defects using tools like JIRA, ensuring timely resolution. Continuously improve test coverage, automation efficiency, and performance metrics. Required Skills & Qualifications Technical Expertise Strong programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Go for automation scripting. Hands-on experience testing gRPC services, Protobuf schemas, and using grpcurl. Proficiency with performance testing tools: ghz, k6, Locust. Experience with contract testing frameworks like Pact. Familiarity with AWS services and automation frameworks for cloud-based deployments. Understanding of backend technologies like Golang or Spring Boot for effective collaboration. Process Knowledge Deep understanding of Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) and Defect Life Cycle. Experience in Agile/Scrum environments. Other Requirements Ability to work independently and take ownership of QA deliverables. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and collaboration abilities. Nice-to-Have Experience with CI/CD pipelines and containerized test execution (Docker, AWS Fargate). Knowledge of Playwright for UI/API automation (if UI components exist). Familiarity with batch processing validation and data integrity testing. Exposure to language-specific testing frameworks for Golang (e.g., testify) , Python ( grpcio , pytest) or Java (e.g., JUnit).
