You will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automation frameworks and quality engineering practices for a cloud-native, event-driven platform built on AWS, Kafka/MSK, APIs, databases, and distributed microservices. You will work closely with Engineering, Product, Architecture, and DevOps teams to ensure robust test coverage, early defect detection, and high-quality releases.
The ideal candidate combines strong automation expertise with experience testing distributed systems, event-driven architectures, cloud-native applications, APIs, and complex enterprise integrations.
Key responsibilities:
-
Design, develop, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for APIs, microservices, event-driven workflows, and cloud-native applications.
-
Develop automated functional, integration, regression, end-to-end, and data validation test suites for Service Layer integrations and Quote-to-Cash business processes.
-
Validate Kafka/MSK event flows, message transformations, canonical data models, database transactions, and downstream system integrations.
-
Implement automated API testing, contract testing, service virtualization, and integration testing across enterprise applications and services.
-
Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and collaborate with Engineering and DevOps teams to enable continuous quality and shift-left testing practices.

Perform non-functional testing including performance, reliability, resiliency, and scalability testing of distributed systems.
-
Develop automated data validation and reconciliation testing across PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, DynamoDB, and other platform data stores.
-
Analyze defects, troubleshoot complex issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive quality improvements across the platform.
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define test strategies, quality standards, release readiness criteria, and engineering best practices.
-
Contribute to continuous improvement of automation frameworks, test coverage, quality metrics, and release processes.
Must Have Skills:
-
Strong experience designing and developing test automation frameworks using Java, Python, TypeScript, or similar programming languages.
-
Strong experience with API automation testing using tools and frameworks such as REST Assured, Postman, Karate, PyTest, Selenium, Playwright, or equivalent technologies.
-
Strong experience testing microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures, including Kafka, AWS MSK, RabbitMQ, or similar messaging platforms.
-
Strong experience validating REST APIs, asynchronous workflows, message queues, data transformations, and enterprise integrations.
-
Strong experience with PostgreSQL, relational databases, NoSQL databases, and data validation techniques, including query development and database testing.
-
Experience implementing CI/CD-integrated test automation using GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or equivalent platforms.
-
Experience with AWS cloud services, including Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch, and serverless application testing.
-
Experience with performance, load, reliability, and resiliency testing using tools such as JMeter, K6, Gatling, or equivalent solutions.
-
Experience with test reporting, observability, and quality metrics using tools such as Allure, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, ClickHouse, or similar platforms.
-
Strong understanding of quality engineering principles, test strategy, test design, defect management, root cause analysis, and agile testing practices.
Qualifications:
-
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related discipline.
-
7+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, Test Automation, or Quality Engineering roles.
-
4+ years of experience developing and maintaining automated testing solutions for enterprise applications and APIs.
-
Experience testing cloud-native, distributed, and event-driven systems in production-scale environments.
-
Experience working in Agile delivery environments with cross-functional engineering teams.
Nice to have:
-
ISTQB, Certified Agile Tester, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, or equivalent certifications.
-
Experience implementing shift-left testing, test quality metrics, and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines.
-
Experience testing Salesforce, Oracle ERP, OIC,ORMB, or enterprise integration platforms.
