- Design, implement, and evolve robust test frameworks for scalable microservices built with Scala, .NET Core, and C#.
- Define quality strategies for both backend services and front‑end applications, contributing to UI validation for React or Angular components.
- Validate and optimize cloud‑native workloads leveraging AWS services such as EKS, ECS, API Gateway, and OpenSearch.
- Lead and participate in Agile ceremonies, influencing planning, estimation, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Strengthen DevOps pipelines through automation using GitLab, Jenkins, and containerization technologies.
- Champion engineering best practices, guide teams on quality‑driven development, and mentor junior and mid‑level engineers.
- Stay ahead of emerging technologies and incorporate modern tooling including AI‑assisted development and testing solutions to elevate team productivity and product reliability.
What you'll bring:
- 8+ years of experience as a Quality Engineer in Test, with a strong focus on automation, quality strategy, and validating large‑scale distributed systems.
- Deep hands‑on experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks for backend microservices using Scala‑based API testing or similar tooling.
- Strong background in UI automation using frameworks such as Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress, with the ability to define scalable, maintainable test architectures.
- Proven ability to build and execute end‑to‑end, integration, performance, and reliability testing strategies across microservices and cloud‑native systems.
- Experience validating applications built with .NET Core, C#, Scala, and data stores like MongoDB or similar NoSQL technologies.
- Solid understanding of AWS microservices architecture (EKS, ECS, API Gateway, OpenSearch) and how to design test approaches for distributed, event‑driven systems.
- Working knowledge of front‑end technologies (React or Angular) and the ability to define effective UI and component‑level testing strategies.
- Strong familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling (GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes), including integrating automated tests into build and deployment workflows.
- Exposure to AI‑assisted development and testing tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and interest in leveraging them to improve coverage and efficiency.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
