Quality Assurance Automation Tester

As a QA Engineer, you will be responsible for driving both manual and automation testing across Web, APIs, and Data Platforms. Your role will involve shaping test strategies, building automation frameworks, and ensuring product quality in modern Java microservices and data-driven ecosystems. You will collaborate with product and engineering teams to analyze requirements and define robust test strategies. Your responsibilities will include building and executing functional, regression, UI, and exploratory tests for web and API services. Additionally, you will develop and maintain Selenium WebDriver automation frameworks in Java, integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, and generate clear reports. In this role, you will conduct API testing with RestAssured/Postman and validate data through SQL queries. You will be testing Java-based microservices, REST endpoints, and event-driven systems such as Kafka and RabbitMQ. Furthermore, you will validate service contracts and schemas using tools like OpenAPI/Swagger, JSON Schema, and Avro/Protobuf. Performance testing with tools like JMeter and basic security testing will also be part of your responsibilities. You must have a strong grasp of SDLC/STLC and test design techniques. Expertise in Java and Selenium WebDriver, hands-on experience with API automation using RestAssured, and familiarity with tools like TestNG, Maven, Gradle, and Git are essential. Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and basic Kubernetes concepts is required. Experience with Kafka, distributed systems testing, observability tools, performance testing, and cloud platforms is also necessary. Strong communication, debugging, and documentation skills are vital for this role. Additionally, experience with mobile automation using Appium, mocking/contract testing tools like WireMock and Pact, data pipeline testing, BDD frameworks, and security awareness are considered good to have for this position. This role offers a challenging opportunity to contribute to the quality and reliability of products in a dynamic and innovative environment.,
