Role Overview :

We are looking for a strong, hands-on, highly motivated Senior QA Automation Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of the Service Layer (SL-QTC) platform supporting Quote-to-Cash (QTC), customer lifecycle, and enterprise integration workloads.

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.

Tech Stack & Requirements :

- 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.

- Experience validating Kafka/MSK event streams, schema evolution, message contracts, and event orchestration workflows.
