We're an emerging AI-driven

    (Pact, WireMock) for real-time API verification.

2. Platform Quality & Reliability

  • Ensure
    high availability and accuracy

    , and
    real-user simulation

  • Partner with DevOps to automate test execution in
    Docker/Kubernetes environments
    and track test health through
    Grafana/Prometheus dashboards
    .
  • Drive
    shift-left testing
    —ensuring issues are caught early in the development cycle.

4. Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Partner with backend and frontend engineers to define
    acceptance criteria
    and
    test strategies
    for rapid feature rollouts.
  • Mentor junior QA and SDET engineers in framework design and best practices.
  • Contribute to
    internal QA tools and libraries
    , supporting faster test authoring and improved observability.

What You'll Bring

    Computer Science
    ,
    Software Engineering

  • 6+ years
    of experience as an

    , and
    RestAssured

    ,
    contract testing
    , and
    API reliability validation
    .
  • Understanding of
    real-time data systems
    (e.g., Kinesis, WebSockets) and
    event-driven architectures
    is a plus.
  • Strong communication and debugging skills with a bias toward rapid delivery.

Nice to Have

  • Knowledge of
    TypeScript
    or

    testing frameworks.
  • Background in
    sports analytics
    ,
    fantasy platforms
    , or
    interactive media apps
    .
  • Familiarity with AWS
    based services
