Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated and technically proficient Quality Engineer to join our fast-paced engineering team. This role is central to our commitment to quality, requiring a deep understanding of software architecture, hands-on development expertise in Java, and mastery of automated API & UI testing methodologies. The ideal candidate will be a champion of quality, driving automation and integrating testing seamlessly into the CI/CD pipeline.
Key Responsibilities & Technical Expectations
Automation Framework Development (Java): Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and reusable automation frameworks primarily using Java (e.g., TestNG, JUnit, Maven). Must demonstrate expert-level proficiency in Java development practices.
RESTful API Testing Mastery: Own the strategy and execution for testing complex RESTful APIs and microservices. Utilize tools like Playwrite, RestAssured, Bruno, or similar to create sophisticated, data-driven automated API tests.
UI Automation Expertise: Implement and maintain stable, performant, and scalable UI automation scripts using Playwrite (or comparable tools) with a Java/JS binding. Experience implementing design patterns like the Page Object Model (POM) is essential.
CI/CD Integration (Jenkins): Configure, manage, and optimize automated test execution within our continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using Jenkins. Implement Jenkins jobs for scheduled, trigger-based, and nightly test runs.
Test Management & Reporting (Zephyr/JIRA): Drive quality reporting and metrics. Configure and utilize Zephyr APIs and JIRA APIs to link automated test results, track execution status, and generate detailed, actionable quality reports for stakeholders.
Code Quality & Review: Actively participate in peer code reviews for both application and automation code, ensuring adherence to coding standards, testability, and optimal performance.
Debugging & Troubleshooting: Possess strong debugging skills to quickly isolate issues in the application code, test scripts, and environment configurations.
Performance & Security Testing: Additional advantage if candidate has exposure to performance testing.
