  • Develop regression strategies and establish testing criteria for release readiness.
  • Test RESTful APIs, microservices, and serverless applications.
  • Validate Kafka-based and other event-driven systems.
  • Test cloud-based applications and data pipelines using technologies such as Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and Redis.
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab and Jenkins.
  • Support quality engineering activities within DevSecOps/SecDevOps environments.
  • Validate secure engineering requirements and security controls.
  • Troubleshoot complex application issues using logs, metrics, and traces.
  • Participate in defect triage, root-cause analysis, retesting, and regression validation.
  • Validate application performance, reliability, concurrency, and observability requirements.
  • Use programming/scripting languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, and SQL for test automation.
  • Support testing of containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Collaborate with Engineering, QA, DevOps, Product, Security, and other stakeholders.
  • Produce test results, evidence, and documentation suitable for audit or compliance reviews.

Requirements

  • 5-10 years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or software development.
  • Strong experience owning test strategy and automation for complex applications.
  • Strong functional and automation testing experience throughout the SDLC.
  • Experience defining regression testing and release-readiness strategies.
  • Experience with automated testing tools covering unit, API, integration, and UI testing.
  • Familiarity with TDD and automation-first testing approaches.
  • Strong experience testing REST APIs, microservices, and API-centric architectures.
  • Experience testing Kafka/event-driven and asynchronous processing workflows.
  • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, source-control systems, and build/deployment tooling.
