Qualifications

• 4-year degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years in a QA or test engineering role with a strong automation focus.
• Hands-on experience building automated test suites for web applications and backend services using modern frameworks (Playwright or Cypress).
• Experience testing distributed microservices or event-driven systems, including API testing (REST/gRPC) and contract testing such as Pact.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI).
• Working knowledge of containers and Kubernetes for running tests.
• Strong SQL skills for data validation.
• Solid grounding in QA methodologies and Agile delivery with user stories and iterative releases.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own automated test suites across the platform, spanning unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests.
• Build and maintain contract and integration tests across microservices, validating behavior at service boundaries and across the event bus.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to run on every commit and gate releases.
• Build performance and load tests modeling production volumes and establish throughput and latency baselines.
• Test asynchronous and event-driven workflows, including data consistency across services.
• Validate deployment configurations across multi- and single-tenant, cloud, and on-premises targets.
• Stand up and maintain test environments in Kubernetes.
• Define and track quality metrics, and drive them in the right direction over time.
• Partner with engineers early to make features testable and shift quality left.
• Document test strategy, plans, and results for complex features and releases.
