Résumé du poste

The NYS Department of Labor seeks a Senior Tester to develop and execute functional and integration test scenarios for an AI-enabled UI Job Assist Tool. You will test REST APIs, Java microservices, and MCP interactions, validating data integrity and security in a regulated UI environment.

Responsibilities include creating test artifacts, executing end-to-end tests, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and supporting performance testing for high concurrency workloads.

Qualifications

• 60 months of experience performing functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing of enterprise web applications and distributed systems.
• 36 months of experience testing REST APIs and microservices, including request/response payloads, schemas, authentication, error handling, and backend data validation.
• 36 months of experience testing Java-based enterprise applications or services and using SQL to validate backend processing and data integrity.
• 12 months experience testing or validating AI-enabled applications or integrations, including functional validation of AI outputs and data exchanged with systems of record.
• 12 months experience validating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, clients, tools, or integrations, including expected and error-path behavior.
• 24 months experience using API/service testing tools such as Postman, SoapUI, JMeter, or comparable tools.
• 24 months experience creating test plans, test cases, traceability, defect documentation, and test execution summaries in an Agile delivery environment.

Responsabilités

• Develop and execute functional and integration test scenarios for the Al-enabled UI Job Assist Tool.
• Test read/write REST APIs and Java microservices used to exchange data between the core UI system and the Job Assist Tool.
• Perform MCP validation, including server/client interactions, tool invocation, request/response handling, and error conditions.
• Validate business rules and data-integrity controls to prevent corrupt or unapproved AI-generated data from being written back to the UI system.
• Execute positive, negative, boundary, regression, and end-to-end tests across APIs, microservices, MCP components, and AI integrations.
• Create and maintain test cases, test data, traceability, defect documentation, and test execution results.
• Use API testing tools to validate REST endpoints, payloads, schemas, authentication, error handling, and response behavior.
• Query backend data stores as needed to confirm accurate processing and persistence of data.
• Collaborate with Programmers, Data Architects, Cloud Engineers, vendor technical teams, and business SMEs to investigate defects and clarify expected behavior.
• Support performance and scalability testing for workloads involving approximately 1,500 concurrent users and document-heavy processing.
• Validate security-sensitive integration behavior in a regulated UI environment and support knowledge transfer to State staff.
