The ideal candidate will possess a strong technical background in frontend and backend testing, test automation, and cloud-based quality practices. The role requires hands-on experience in Selenium, REST Assured, Java, and AWS, with a deep understanding of continuous integration, test frameworks, and Agile delivery. You will be expected to work closely with cross-functional teams (Development, DevOps, and Product) to ensure the delivery of high-quality software through automated, reliable, and repeatable validation processes. ---------------------------------------- Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities Test Strategy & Planning - Define, document, and implement comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and test cases for frontend, backend, and API layers. - Collaborate with developers, architects, and business analysts to understand functional and non-functional requirements. - Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and design discussions to ensure testability and quality metrics are built in from the start. - Identify automation opportunities and integrate automation into the CI/CD pipeline. Test Execution & Automation - Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver (for UI) and REST Assured (for API testing). - Implement automation frameworks in Java, integrating with tools like TestNG, Maven, and Jenkins. - Execute manual and automated test cases for regression, integration, and performance testing. - Use version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines to execute and report test runs automatically. - Review automation scripts written by peers for reusability, maintainability, and scalability. Backend & API Testing - Validate RESTful APIs for functionality, schema compliance, and error handling using REST Assured and Postman. - Perform backend validation using SQL queries on relational databases (MySQL/Postgres). - Validate service integrations, asynchronous workflows, and data consistency across microservices. - Test event-driven systems leveraging tools like Kafka for message validation and processing workflows. Performance & Reliability Testing - Design and execute performance tests using JMeter, identify bottlenecks, and provide recommendations for optimization. - Collaborate with DevOps to analyze metrics (CPU, memory, response time) using AWS CloudWatch or similar monitoring tools. - Participate in root cause analysis for production incidents, focusing on test gaps and regression coverage. Test Environment Management & DevOps - Work with DevOps teams to set up and manage test environments on AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, Fargate). - Integrate test execution into the CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins or similar tools. - Maintain test data sets and ensure environment consistency across different test phases. Quality Governance & Continuous Improvement - Ensure adherence to QE best practices, standards, and governance processes. - Track, manage, and report defects using JIRA or similar test management tools. - Define and monitor quality metrics (test coverage, defect density, automation rate). - Mentor junior QEs, review their work, and promote a quality-first mindset within the team. - Stay updated with the latest tools, frameworks, and testing trends in the industry. ---------------------------------------- Role Requirements Experience Level Role Title Expected Experience Junior–Mid Quality Engineer (QE) 1–2 years Mid–Senior Senior Quality Engineer (SQE) 3–4 years ---------------------------------------- Requirements: Required Technical Skills Core Skills (Hands-On Expertise) 1.
